Topics to be covered in this course include American immigration history, race relations, and the process of Americanization. How do Americans achieve “whiteness”? What is the difference between “ethnic” and “racial”? How are these differences gendered? How does religion factor into these questions? Twentieth and twenty-first century shifts in American religious.

Description: This course surveys African American literature of a variety of genres—poetry, drama, autobiography, fiction, and non-fiction essays—from the 20th Century. The course interprets this tradition not only as the production of American writers of African descent, but also as a set works that display formal characteristics associated with black cultural traditions. Discussion topics include the meanings of race, the construction of black identity, and intra-racial differences of class, gender, and sexuality. Special attention will be paid to approaching literary texts from a variety of critical perspectives.

Description: Led by Master Drummer Fana Bangoura, the West African Drumming Ensemble is dedicated to the dynamic percussive traditions of Guinea. The ensemble combines the iconic djembe hand drum with a trio of drums played with sticks, known as dunun, sangban, and kenkeni. The powerful, multi-part relationships established by this trio of drums provide a rhythmic foundation for the ensemble, enabling djembe players to develop technique in executing both accompaniment and solo parts. Drawing upon his experience as a soloist with the internationally acclaimed groups Les Percussions de Guinée and Les Ballets Africains, Fana engages ensemble players with a wide repertory of music from various regions of Guinea, including the rhythms of the Susu, Malinke, and Baga language groups.

Progress in the North and lack of the same in the South were but two sides of the same historical process. Students will also explore the nature and implications of recent changes in the above world order, as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union and, in particular, the emergence of China, Brazil, India, and several other countries as economic power houses, competing for world resources and markets with the US-led global North.

Description: This course engages with representations of black childhood in a United States context from the antebellum period through the 21st century. The course begins with exploration of the paradoxical and precarious position of black children in slavery and then maps shifts in the representational currency of black childhood. We will focus on how the social, judicial and economic maintenance of white supremacy, as well as the changing socio-political status of children impact narratives of black childhood. Consequently, we will also address how black writers, artists and scholars deploy black childhood as a means to critique and defy white supremacy. Our course materials will be primarily literary as we critically read slave narratives, children’s literature, autobiography and fiction, but we will also study representations of black childhood in film, television and popular culture.

Description: In Black Skins, White Masks, Frantz Fanon wrote, “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!” In the United States, popular cultural understandings of race have often located blackness within the body: in DNA, in blood, in skin, in hair texture, in facial features. How does race get mapped onto the body? In this interdisciplinary course on race and embodiment, students will encounter texts and writing assignments prompting them to think critically about how black bodies ‘matter’ in the contemporary U.S. Course materials and assignments will encourage students to explore how blackness intersects with other social categories such as gender and sexuality at the site of the body, while exploring how these categories are socially constructed and can and should be troubled, blurred, and contested in the practice of social life. The dual themes of intersectionality and visuality will act as a frame for our explorations.

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.

This largely Christian movement set in a motion a theological and social phenomenon known as liberation theology. In this work we will examine the ideas and actions behind this movement, with particular reference to race, class, and gender. Writing and discussion are integral parts of the course.

Description: In the context of the global economy, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is blessed with vast mineral resources and agricultural lands able to produce a wide variety of tropical products and foods. The country's large population is made up of talented and highly resourceful individuals, who are quick to respond to economic incentives. Thus, it is hard to understand why the country has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world and why the country's economy occupies such a lowly position within the global economy. We focus on the historical development of socio-economic/political structures over time to explain why the giant of Africa continues to slumber. Some of the country's central problems, such as ethnic and religious contradictions, are similar in some way to those in the U.S. The solutions attempted by the governments of both countries, such as affirmative action, are also somewhat similar. We will conduct a comparative analysis of contemporary historical issues in the two countries.

Description: The debate on the role of the state versus that of the free market in the socioeconomic process is as old as the history of political economy. We discuss what economists, political scientists, & economic historians characterize as the Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus or the Asian model. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of some notable thinkers — Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, & Friedrich von Hayek. The greater part of the course deals with selected historical cases across the globe. The discussions are informed by a political economy conceptual framework, which helps to explain the politics and economics of state policy and the long-run historical processes that created the political & economic conditions. Students’ performance is based on three short essays (four typed pages each) presented to the class for discussion and thereafter revised for grading. No mid-term & final examinations.

Description: Almost four hundred years of slavery and racial discrimination have taken a toll on the black family. Despite this, the family demonstrated a remarkable resilience as it negotiated the pernicious demands of both slavery and freedom. Today, however, the number of black millionaires grows rapidly, yet poverty in the black community expands exponentially. The widening gap between rich and poor is, however, only one of the many challenges facing black families struggling to come to terms with inter-racial and same-sex marriages, teenage pregnancy, as well as disparities in health, educational, and mass incarceration. The course readings and assignments will examine these impediments and evaluate the claim of some of our leading scholars that “the very future of the black family in America is at risk."

Description: This course introduces students to the theory and practice of media studies. We will look at a range of both media and historical tendencies related to the media, including manuscript culture, print, and the rise of the newspaper, novel, and modern nation-state; photography, film, television and their respective differences as visual mediums; important shifts in attitudes towards painting; the place of sound in the media of modernity; and the computerization of culture brought about by the computer, social networks, video games, and cell phones. In looking at these, we will consider both the approaches that key scholars in the field of media studies use, and the concepts that are central to the field itself (media/medium; medium-specificity; remediation; the culture industry; reification and utopia; cultural politics). By the end of the class, students will have developed a toolkit for understanding, analyzing, and even using the media that shape their lives in late modernity.

Description: Inventive, controversial, rebellious, strange. These descriptions haunt “the historical avant-garde” - a constellation of art movements that flourished across the globe during the first half of the 20th century and reshaped the meaning of art. This course explores the representation of body in these art movements, including but not limited to Surrealism, New York Dada, and Russian Constructivism. We will concentrate on bodies in film, photography, and performance art to understand how these images challenge ideas about race, sexuality, class, and gender. Reading the most recent scholarship on the avant-garde, we will discuss how artists responded to their historical contexts, such as the consequences of the First World War, migration, colonialism, women’s emancipation, and consumerism. By the end of the course students should have a vocabulary to critically evaluate the historical avant-garde and its legacy.

Description: This course introduces the student to the field of archaeology through three units of study: 1) The history of excavation from ancient to modern times, 2) The techniques of excavation and the analysis of material remains, 3) Modern theories of cultural interpretation of archaeological sites. We will discuss the value of archaeological approaches to the fields of anthropology, history, architectural and art history, religious and classical studies. Much of the instruction will be illustrated by case studies of sites; although the view will be global, there will be a concentration in Old World material from prehistory to the early modern period. Students will be required to write three essays, with subjects selected from each of the three course units.

Description: What does it mean to live in a city? Can you reshape people’s lives by redesigning city spaces? How do city dwellers, architects, politicians, and others interact with and appropriate their own urban past? This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to different ways of looking at cities, framing them as the contested products of a range of human actions. Through an in-depth examination of four complex urban environments – Chicago, Istanbul, Delhi, and Rome – we will learn about the interplay between space, aesthetics, time, memory, and power. Weekly lectures by an anthropologist, an architect, and a historian will complement discussions of film, historical documents, fiction, and relevant case studies. In addition to writing four short papers, students will hone their analytical skills by observing urban life and form with a series of field studies in the city of Rochester.

Description: In the late 1960s and early 1970s the notion of site specificity emerged in art, posing a challenge to the “pure” and “objective” exhibition space of the museum, as well as the overall commercialization of the art object. Art moved out of the museum and into the world, embracing immateriality, duration, and—above all—the question of location. In this course we will consider the historical, cultural, discursive, institutional, and physical frameworks that allow us to draw meaning from art, juxtaposing modern and contemporary examples with classical, Renaissance, and other pre-modern traditions. We will explore the connection between art’s physical and conceptual frameworks, navigating the changeable worlds that exist within and beyond the frame.

Description: In Black Skins, White Masks, Frantz Fanon wrote, “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!” In the United States, popular cultural understandings of race have often located blackness within the body: in DNA, in blood, in skin, in hair texture, in facial features. How does race get mapped onto the body? In this interdisciplinary course on race and embodiment, students will encounter texts and writing assignments prompting them to think critically about how black bodies ‘matter’ in the contemporary U.S. Course materials and assignments will encourage students to explore how blackness intersects with other social categories such as gender and sexuality at the site of the body, while exploring how these categories are socially constructed and can and should be troubled, blurred, and contested in the practice of social life. The dual themes of intersectionality and visuality will act as a frame for our explorations.

Description: This course engages with representations of black childhood in a United States context from the antebellum period through the 21st century. The course begins with exploration of the paradoxical and precarious position of black children in slavery and then maps shifts in the representational currency of black childhood. We will focus on how the social, judicial and economic maintenance of white supremacy, as well as the changing socio-political status of children impact narratives of black childhood. Consequently, we will also address how black writers, artists and scholars deploy black childhood as a means to critique and defy white supremacy. Our course materials will be primarily literary as we critically read slave narratives, children’s literature, autobiography and fiction, but we will also study representations of black childhood in film, television and popular culture.

Description: From the assassination of Alexander II in 1881 to the rise of the Soviet Union in 1925, Russia was the scene of political and cultural upheaval. The literature of this period is especially rich, with great poetic talents (Blok, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky) and blockbuster novels (Sologub’s Petty Demon and Bely’s Petersburg), but all the arts participated. In addition to literature, this course will examine developments in music (Stravinsky, Scriabin), drama (the Moscow Art Theatre), painting (Vrubel, Roerich, Goncharova, Malevich), and dance (the Ballet Russe). No longer simply adapting foreign forms, Russian culture was at the forefront of the European avant-garde. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 began to bring this cultural renaissance to an end, and rising Soviet Power sent its remaining creative spirits underground or abroad, but its influence and memory in Russian and world culture has lasted till this day.

This research will work towards material to be included in a permanent exhibition at the new Buffalo Architecture Center, thus giving students unique exposure to the curatorial process for which they will also receive recognition. Students should expect one or two field trips to the city. Course instructor approval required.

Description: What is the value of the everyday in modern and contemporary culture? And how does photography permit greater, more immediate access to ordinary life? This seminar will explore these two related questions starting with the underlying assumption that the modern experience is unthinkable without the proliferation of photographic technologies. Studio portraits, identification cards, family snapshots, newspaper photos, posters, and viral images all represent as well as constitute the ins-and-outs of daily life in ways conscious and unconscious, thoughtful and entirely indiscriminate.

Description: This course introduces students to various ways in which cultural anthropologists do research and fieldwork. Cultural anthropologists study the human situation in all its manifestations; their work enables us to expose the limitations of self-evident truths and to reveal the possibilities of alternative views. Students will be asked to think both critically and comparatively about institutions such as kinship, politics and religion. The course also addresses questions of cultural diversity and social inequality, including questions of race, class and gender in contemporary America. It will challenge students to consider the fate and value of cultural differences in a world connected and shaped by global flows of people, money, media and technologies.

Description: What does it mean to live in a city? Can you reshape people’s lives by redesigning city spaces? How do city dwellers, architects, politicians, and others interact with and appropriate their own urban past? This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to different ways of looking at cities, framing them as the contested products of a range of human actions. Through an in-depth examination of four complex urban environments – Chicago, Istanbul, Delhi, and Rome – we will learn about the interplay between space, aesthetics, time, memory, and power. Weekly lectures by an anthropologist, an architect, and a historian will complement discussions of film, historical documents, fiction, and relevant case studies. In addition to writing four short papers, students will hone their analytical skills by observing urban life and form with a series of field studies in the city of Rochester.

Description: In Black Skins, White Masks, Frantz Fanon wrote, “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!” In the United States, popular cultural understandings of race have often located blackness within the body: in DNA, in blood, in skin, in hair texture, in facial features. How does race get mapped onto the body? In this interdisciplinary course on race and embodiment, students will encounter texts and writing assignments prompting them to think critically about how black bodies ‘matter’ in the contemporary U.S. Course materials and assignments will encourage students to explore how blackness intersects with other social categories such as gender and sexuality at the site of the body, while exploring how these categories are socially constructed and can and should be troubled, blurred, and contested in the practice of social life. The dual themes of intersectionality and visuality will act as a frame for our explorations.

We will ask, how have humans changed the natural worlds around them? How do these transformed environments impact people’s lives and their communities? We will trace the history of contemporary American environmentalism focusing on the Great Lakes region. We will analyze how anthropologists have responded to environmentalist concerns, such as petrochemical production and the management of radioactive waste. What can anthropology reveal about the complex entanglements of citizens, corporations, and politicians that coalesce around issues of toxic contamination? What can anthropology reveal about the distribution of toxic effects across categories of race, gender, and class? To draw comparisons across regional contexts and introduce students to central debates in the field, we also will review accounts of environmental contamination in Ukraine, India, & New Mexico.

We will discuss ethnographic accounts of housewives, working mothers, servants, and family life alongside theoretical approaches to gender, space, power, and consumption. We will compare ideologies of privacy and spatial practices cross-culturally. We will analyze a range of primary sources - bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, home decor, women's magazines, television shows, and etiquette handbooks from different time periods and places - for what they can tell us about gender, class, and power. In addition to weekly discussions, students will propose, develop, and present a semester-long research project.

Description: This course will provide an overview of the origins of eukaryotic genomes and their huge variation in size, organization and the proliferation of seemingly functionless DNA. It will also discuss the remarkable complexity in the structure and regulation of eukaryotic genes and the processing of their transcripts. While predominately focused on molecular and genomics topics, the course will attempt to wed these areas to models of evolution. Thus the course will frequently return to Dobzhansky’s adage “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”. Most readings will be from the original literature. Attendance at one discussion sections lead by the instructor each week is required.

Description: This 4-credit course is geared towards providing hands on experience in conducting genetic research, with a focus on the genetics of complex traits such as behavior, development, morphology and/or physiology. Genetics of complex traits is an exciting and rapidly growing field. You will gain experience in conducting research in a laboratory environment using the insect Nasonia vitripennis and its sibling species (see link information below). In the first portion of the course you will choose a trait to study and develop methods to quantify differences in the trait between the species. You will then conduct experiments to study the genetic basis of the species differences. The skills you will develop include experimental design, genetic crossing, data analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), animal husbandry, research record keeping, basic bioinformatic (blast searching a database) and genomic methods, and research presentation. You have the option of continuing with your project in BIO 262.

Description: This course will provide an overview of the origins of eukaryotic genomes and their huge variation in size, organization and the proliferation of seemingly functionless DNA. It will also discuss the remarkable complexity in the structure and regulation of eukaryotic genes and the processing of their transcripts. While predominately focused on molecular and genomics topics, the course will attempt to wed these areas to models of evolution. Thus the course will frequently return to Dobzhansky’s adage “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution”. Most readings will be from the original literature. Attendance at one discussion sections lead by the instructor each week is required.

Description: Viscoelastic materials have the capacity to both store and dissipate energy. As a result, properly describing their mechanical behavior lies outside the scope of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This course will develop constitutive relations and strategies for solving boundary value problems in linear viscoelastic materials. In addition, the closely-related biphasic theory for fluid-filled porous solids will be introduced. An emphasis will be placed on applications to cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, blood vessels, and other biological tissues. Advanced topics including non-linear viscoelasticity, composite viscoelasticity and physical mechanisms of viscoelasticity will be surveyed.

Description: Viscoelastic materials have the capacity to both store and dissipate energy. As a result, properly describing their mechanical behavior lies outside the scope of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This course will develop constitutive relations and strategies for solving boundary value problems in linear viscoelastic materials. In addition, the closely-related biphasic theory for fluid-filled porous solids will be introduced. An emphasis will be placed on applications to cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, blood vessels, and other biological tissues. Advanced topics including non-linear viscoelasticity, composite viscoelasticity and physical mechanisms of viscoelasticity will be surveyed.

This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to different ways of looking at cities, framing them as the contested products of a range of human actions. Through an in-depth examination of four complex urban environments – Chicago, Istanbul, Delhi, and Rome – we will learn about the interplay between space, aesthetics, time, memory, and power. Weekly lectures by an anthropologist, an architect, and a historian will complement discussions of film, historical documents, fiction, and relevant case studies. In addition to writing four short papers, students will hone their analytical skills by observing urban life and form with a series of field studies in the city of Rochester.

An eportfolio is a polished academic-oriented, digital record of a student’s academic and career goals, as well as presentations of career explorations, projects and other important undergraduate experiences. By participating in development of a digital portfolio, or eportfolio, from their first year to graduation, students will be better able to fully and consciously participate in shaping their path toward post-graduation success. As part of the course, students will also complete a “micro-exploration” of a targeted topic of research or industry and use this information to talk with peers, faculty and alumni about their work. Finally, students will use their eportfolios and “micro-exploration” to prepare applications for research projects or internships.

Description: This course ​investigates how contemporary media shape understandings, experiences, and imagination of nature and the environment.​ ​Media​ ​rearrange planetary spaces, bringing news of global ecological destruction onto our screens, enabling us to carry “places” around in our pockets, telling us when to turn left, when to turn right. From documentary film to mobile computing devices, media have the contradictory role of creating unprecedented connectivity while generating widespread experiences of remoteness, alienation, hyper-memory, and profound amnesia. Our study will emphasize reading critical texts and putting them into dialogue with new media artifacts by creative practitioners. Topics to be studied include natural history, sustainability, environmentalism, industrialization, e-waste, media art, surveillance culture, cultural commons, time-space compression, news coverage of unnatural disasters, the politics of factory farms and amusement parks, and performance art about environmental justice.

Description: This course studies how our eating practices are shaped by industrial, political, and ecological processes. To understand the politics, economics, and history of what appears on our plates, we cover topics such as biotechnology, food-preservation, chemicals and fertilizers, fast food, processed food, genetically modified organisms, obesity, superbugs, and the organic, local, vegetarian, slow-food, and food justice movements—primarily from the perspective of artistic, literary, and cultural texts. Course “readings” will consider not only fiction and nonfiction writing but also film, video, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, email lists, TED Talks, websites, and television/online programming. This course incorporates participatory, experiential elements with the aim of examining the role of the body and community in food consumption, including (1) collaborative food preparation and meals to bring our own personal practices into critical light, and (2) class trips to farmers’ markets, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

Description: Violence has been (and remains) a central object of study for anthropologists. The ubiquity of violence in most social and cultural contexts compels us to ask the following questions: What is violence? How does violence emerge and reproduce? Why and how do humans seek to harm each other? Is violence a recurrent and expected social condition? Over the course of the semester, we will examine all forms of violence in the American context, especially what is known as domestic or intimate violence. In this course we will examine how anthropologists and social scientists conceptualize, theorize and apply their understanding of violence in the American context. Class participants will deploy narrative, quantitative and ethnographic data to study a phenomenon that manifests from the intimacy of the family to the indifference of local, state, national and global actors and affiliated institutions.

Description: This course is devoted to an intensive reading of the greatest work of Chinese prose fiction, the eighteenth-century novel, Dream of the Red Chamber (Hongloumeng). We will pay close attention to the novel’s extended reflection on the relations between illusion, reality, and fabrication; its subversion of historical narrative; its construction of architectural and “natural” spaces; its intense obsession with the sensuousness of material culture; and its powerful narration of desire in early modern China. No background in Chinese literature, culture, or language assumed. All readings in English.

Prerequisites: While this course is open to everyone, students who wish to take two semesters of Asian calligraphy must start with JPN 231/CHI 231: "Asian Calligraphy: History and Practice I."
Description: An elemental study of the Chinese and Japanese writing systems, including their historical development, artistic practices and practical applications. This entails the study of Kaisho (print script), the Gyosho (cursive style) and Sosho (simplified cursive style) of Kanji (Chinese characters), as well as learning the meanings of the Kanji. One class meeting per week will be devoted to the study of calligraphy. Ideal for those who have studied some calligraphy previously, but this is not required. Likewise, previous study of Chinese or Japanese, while helpful, is not required. Please note that students must provide their own Asian calligraphy equipment for practicing Kanji and complete weekly assignments.

Description: This course presents an overview of cinema in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong from the 1930s to the present, considering how cinema has served a means of representing and reshaping Chinese historical identities and everyday life at home and abroad. We will approach film as a mixed medium of narrative, image, and sound, and focus on how it represents the spectacle of modern China by mediating among recurring issues of modern (especially urban) life, the persistence of the past, the relations of place to Chinese and global culture, and the staging of these questions through issues of gender and ethnicity. Throughout, we will pay close attention to the interaction of themes, narrative genres (such as melodrama), formal techniques, and cultural and social context.

Instructors: GOODMAN J
Restrictions: [P] Open to freshman only
Prerequisites: CHM 171 and CHM 173
Description: CHM 172 is the second semester of a one year exploration of the basic observations, concepts and practice of organic chemistry, with a focus on the fundamental relationships among molecular structure and chemical reactivity. The exploration will require that students grapple in depth issues: defining questions, evaluating evidence, weighing arguments, reflecting on epistemological issues, constructing new experiments, etc. The study of organic chemistry will be carefully integrated with a review of the key concepts from general chemistry. Freshman Organic is designed for first year students with good preparation in chemistry (two years of general chemistry and an Advanced Placement score of 4 or 5). This sequence fast tracks students to more advanced chemistry courses and the fulfillment of degree requirements in other disciplines. The accompanying lab for Chemistry majors is CHM 210 (2 credits). Lab fee: $114(billed). (Spring). This course uses the Tues/Thurs 8:00 - 9:30 am Common Exam time.

Prerequisites: PHY 123/143; not open to freshmen and sophomores.
Description: The students enrolled in ANSEL will develop a sophisticated understanding of our terrestrial radiation environment and of some of the important applications of nuclear science and technology. They will acquire practical skills in the routine use of radiation detectors, monitors, and electronics, and develop the ability to assess radiation threats and prospects of their abatement. The four in-depth ANSEL experiments are designed to help recreate a type of well-rounded, competent experimental nuclear scientist who is able to analyze an experimental problem, to select, design, and set up appropriate nuclear instrumentation, and to conduct required measurements. The laboratory sessions will meet twice a week for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The students are expected to write detailed lab reports on their work, and give a presentation on of their experiments at the end of the semester. In addition to the laboratory component of ANSEL students will attend a weekly lecture (1 hour and 15 minutes per week).

Description: This course covers thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical kinetics. These subjects are a fundamental part of our understanding of matter and energy. Thermodynamics is the mathematical theory of heat – it gives rules describing how heat flows, and the relationship between heat and other kinds of energy. Statistical mechanics explains what heat is – it provides an explanation of thermodynamics in terms of the random motion of molecules. Chemical kinetics is the study of the time dependence of chemical reactions. There are three 50-minute lectures and one recitation session per week. Weekly problem sets are assigned. This course uses the Tuesday/Thursday 8:00 - 9:30 am Common Exam time.

Description: Introduction to the mythology of the classical world. We will examine the major myths about the gods, the origins and nature of the universe, and the heroic past, as they developed in the Greek world and as they were adapted in the Roman world. We will consider the nature and function of myth in society, some theoretical approaches to myth, and the way in which myths were adapted by Greek and Roman authors to fit a particular literary or historical context. This course will also devote time to comparing the classical system of myths to other mythological systems.

Description: Homer, Virgil, and Ovid. The tragedy and comedy of the Greeks: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Aristophanes. Plato and Aristotle, the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The two great traditions studied in this course -- classical and scriptural -- have been pondered by generations of writers and artists for thousands of years. A great deal of western literary history is the story of rewriting and adapting the core texts of these traditions; it has been said that the European philosophical tradition is “a series of footnotes to Plato.” While doing justice to any one of these fascinating authors in a single semester would be a challenge, the goal of this class is to read and discuss as much of the classical and scriptural tradition as we can, giving you a solid foundation in the key stories and ideas that have generated so much thought, debate, and human creativity over the past two millennia. Freshmen welcome!

We will discuss the value of archaeological approaches to the fields of anthropology, history, architectural and art history, religious and classical studies. Much of the instruction will be illustrated by case studies of sites; although the view will be global, there will be a concentration in Old World material from prehistory to the early modern period. Students will be required to write three essays, with subjects selected from each of the three course units.

Topics include: early Christian debates over the nature of the body and its relationship to personal identity and the nature of the self; conflicting ideas about the nature of Jesus’ incarnated, crucified, and resurrected body; gender, sexuality, and the bodies of men and women; Christian valorization of physical suffering and the bodies of the ill; the cult of the martyrs and the cult of the relics; the rise of asceticism and the bodies of saints.

Description: In this course we will explore representations of women in post-World War II German cinema. Moving chronologically from the building of two German states to the post-unification period, we will consider the constantly shifting meaning of 'woman' in popular and avant-garde films, narrative and documentary films, films by both male and female directors. We will consider equally films from East and West Germany. How does 'woman' function as a narrative device in these films? Do women behind the camera change 'woman's' meaning within the film? Can 'woman' consistently be reduced to one narrative trope (mother, comrade or whore), or does she resist? All readings and discussions are in English; all films are subtitled.

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.

Description: In February 2011, the website Jewcy published a list of the 50 most essential works of Jewish fiction of the last 100 years. The featured books come from many different languages, cultures, and time periods and are written in a myriad of literary styles. Although few would argue with the names on the list (Kafka, Bellow, Singer), the diversity of the authors involved raises the question: what makes Jewish literature Jewish? This course will attempt to answer that question by looking at an international group of writers (some of whom identify as Jewish and some of whom do not) who often challenge their (religious and cultural) upbringing as well as the dominant politics of the countries in which they live. The authors we will read include: Franz Kafka, Jakov Lind, Bruno Schulz, Edmund Jabès, Georges Perec and Clarice Lispector.

Through a series of readings, films, musical tracks, artistic and iconic images as well as bio-pics and Skype interviews with young and not-so-young Italian women, the course, which will be run in a seminar fashion, will focus on the stories of women in Italy from the past and the present. Through class discussion, we will build a mosaic working towards the image of women in Italy today. In doing so, we hope to reach a fuller understanding of Italy and its present day culture.

Description: From the assassination of Alexander II in 1881 to the rise of the Soviet Union in 1925, Russia was the scene of political and cultural upheaval. The literature of this period is especially rich, with great poetic talents (Blok, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky) and blockbuster novels (Sologub’s Petty Demon and Bely’s Petersburg), but all the arts participated. In addition to literature, this course will examine developments in music (Stravinsky, Scriabin), drama (the Moscow Art Theatre), painting (Vrubel, Roerich, Goncharova, Malevich), and dance (the Ballet Russe). No longer simply adapting foreign forms, Russian culture was at the forefront of the European avant-garde. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 began to bring this cultural renaissance to an end, and rising Soviet Power sent its remaining creative spirits underground or abroad, but its influence and memory in Russian and world culture has lasted till this day.

Description: CLT 389 is an introduction to theories and critical approaches as strategies for reading and interpreting texts, films, and other cultural objects. Students in this course will read a variety of literature and theory with an eye toward understanding what criticism's roles are, why and how the study of literature and culture (still) matters, and how they can develop their own critical skills based on their personal interests and concerns. This course teaches reading strategies that will help students to get to the heart of what they are studying, and very significant amounts of course work will be devoted to the art of writing the literary essay. How do you choose a thesis, what methods of investigation do you employ, and how do you synthesize your analysis?

Description: In this course we will explore representations of women in post-World War II German cinema. Moving chronologically from the building of two German states to the post-unification period, we will consider the constantly shifting meaning of 'woman' in popular and avant-garde films, narrative and documentary films, films by both male and female directors. We will consider equally films from East and West Germany. How does 'woman' function as a narrative device in these films? Do women behind the camera change 'woman's' meaning within the film? Can 'woman' consistently be reduced to one narrative trope (mother, comrade or whore), or does she resist? All readings and discussions are in English; all films are subtitled.

Description: The dawn of the age of movies coincided with the Russian Revolution, and film was Lenin’s favorite art form. The course surveys Russian film from the beginnings to the present. The course investigates the major role that cinema played in shaping the national and political identity of the Soviet Union, and looks at what was artistically interesting and popular about these films, some of whose directors, like Eisenstein and Tarkovsky, are among the world’s most influential filmmakers.

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.

Description: This course traces the history of modern Japanese women’s writing, beginning with the early twentieth-century and continuing to present day. In doing so, this course addresses the historical background and contribution of women writers to the development and progression of modern Japanese literature. Throughout the course, we will pay close attention to the ways in which Japanese women writers have used fiction to challenged convention and expectation. Key issues include sex and sexuality, the nature and rhetoric of desire, and the politics of the female body. Writers to be considered are Higuchi Ichiyô, Hirabayashi Taeko, Yamada Eimi, Miyabe Miyuki, Kanehara Hitomi, and many others. In addition, the course also asks students to engage with critical scholarship in English that offers new ways of thinking and talking about Japanese women's writing. No previous knowledge of Japan or Japanese is required.

Description: In February 2011, the website Jewcy published a list of the 50 most essential works of Jewish fiction of the last 100 years. The featured books come from many different languages, cultures, and time periods and are written in a myriad of literary styles. Although few would argue with the names on the list (Kafka, Bellow, Singer), the diversity of the authors involved raises the question: what makes Jewish literature Jewish? This course will attempt to answer that question by looking at an international group of writers (some of whom identify as Jewish and some of whom do not) who often challenge their (religious and cultural) upbringing as well as the dominant politics of the countries in which they live. The authors we will read include: Franz Kafka, Jakov Lind, Bruno Schulz, Edmund Jabès, Georges Perec and Clarice Lispector.

By reading a series of recently translated works (some contemporary, some retranslations of modern classics), and by talking with translators, we will have the opportunity to discuss both specific and general issues that come up while translating a given text. Young translators will be exposed to a lot of practical advice throughout this class, helping to refine their approach to their own translations, and will expand their understanding of various practices and possibilities for the art and craft of literary translation.

Description: Computers and the Internet, perhaps more than any other technology, have transformed society over the past 50 years, with dramatic increases in human productivity; an explosion of options for news, entertainment, and communication; and fundamental breakthroughs in almost every branch of science and engineering. At the same time, they have contributed to unprecedented threats to privacy; whole new categories of crime and anti-social behavior; major disruptions in the job market; and the large-scale concentration of risk into systems capable of catastrophic failure. In this discussion- and writing-oriented class, we will consider all of this and more, with the goal of better understanding how to shape technological change in ways that maximize the benefits and minimize the costs. Offers upper-level writing credit in Computer Science.

Description: Programming is the automation of information processing. Program analysis and transformation is the automation of programming itself---how much a program can understand and improve other programs. Because of the diversity and complexity of computer hardware, programmers increasingly depend on automation in compilers and other tools to deliver efficient and reliable software. This course combines fundamental principles and (hands-on) practical applications. Specific topics include data flow and dependence theories; static and dynamic program transformation including parallelization; memory and cache management; type checking and program verification; and performance analysis and modeling. The knowledge and practice will help students to become experts in software performance and correctness. Students taking the graduate level will have additional course requirements and a more difficult project.

Description: Designing digital products and services requires a process of “Interaction Design” which is a wholly new discipline that moves beyond previous fads of simply making digital things that look like physical world objects. Since there is no known formula for creating great UI/UX we will explore the need to consider interactivity as a design process, moving from initial ethnographic research through ideation and design, and the many steps that lead to final delivery and presentation. Mastery of this process will prepare DMS students to undertake their senior capstone project as well as effectively develop other creative and entrepreneurial ideas/ventures.

Description: A wide range of materials and techniques from metal and welding to assemblage, from wood to experimental methods and media is explored in the service of three dimensional art making. Investigations of the specific qualities of three dimensional media (i.e. space, form, scale, mass) and how they can convey ideas are made within a contemporary framework. Artworks synthesize a particular choice and use of materials and a concept or expression. It is the aim of this class to develop this synthesis, and in so doing, begin to develop the students' own working creative vocabulary. Not open to seniors. Studio art supplies fee: $50.

Description: Provides a broad framework for contemporary art practice through studio production, discussion, presentation, and critique. While many courses, including Photography, 3-D, Painting, and Digital Art, often start with the medium and work toward the concept, the projects in this class will immediately integrate conceptual challenges with material and technique. While some projects may include traditional media such as pencils and paper, others may invite nontraditional media such as hair, text, earth and sound. Presentations and discussions will address historical and theoretical approaches to art as a way of supporting expansive studio practice. Practice, critique, readings, and discussion combine to place emphasis on the visual investigation necessary to create educated and challenging art. Not open to seniors.

Prerequisites: Enrollment will be restricted to seniors and graduate students who possess some background in either thermodynamics or AC circuits.
Description: We will describe how the principal sources of energy - coal, natural gas, impounded water (hydroelectric), and fissile materials - are exploited to create electric power, how it is transmitted and distributed through the grid and finally the patterns of its consumption. To assure that students gain a proper appreciation for the factors that determine the real cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour, the subject will be treated in a highly quantitative way. The goal will be to provide students with the information and tools they need for informed analysis of the true prospects and technological challenges involved in integration of new energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal power, with the existing grid. There will be weekly homework and a midterm. Two projects with oral presentations, including a major one at the end of the semester, are required. There is no final exam. Several required field trips to local power facilities occur during the semester.

Description: This course involves the analysis and design of radio-frequency (RF) and microwave integrated circuits at the transistor level. We begin with a review of electromagnetics and transmission line theory. Several design concepts and techniques are then introduced, including Smith chart, s-parameters, and EM simulation. After the discussion of RLC circuits, high-frequency narrow-band amplifiers are studied, followed by broadband amplifiers. Then we examine the important issue of noise with the design example of low-noise amplifiers (LNA). Nonlinear circuits are studied next with the examples of mixers. A study of oscillators and phase noise follows. Afterwards we introduce phase-locked loops (PLL) and frequency synthesizers. The course concludes with an overview of transceivers architectures. The course emphasizes the development of both circuit design intuition and analytical skills. There are bi-weekly design labs and a term project using industry-standard EDA tools (ADS, Asitic, etc.).

Description: We will describe how the principal sources of energy - coal, natural gas, impounded water (hydroelectric), and fissile materials - are exploited to create electric power, how it is transmitted and distributed through the grid and finally the patterns of its consumption. To assure that students gain a proper appreciation for the factors that determine the real cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour, the subject will be treated in a highly quantitative way. The goal will be to provide students with the information and tools they need for informed analysis of the true prospects and technological challenges involved in integration of new energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal power, with the existing grid. There will be weekly homework and a midterm. Two projects with oral presentations, including a major one at the end of the semester, are required. There is no final exam. Several required field trips to local power facilities occur during the semester.

Description: This course involves the analysis and design of radio-frequency (RF) and microwave integrated circuits at the transistor level. We begin with a review of electromagnetics and transmission line theory. Several design concepts and techniques are then introduced, including Smith chart, s-parameters, and EM simulation. After the discussion of RLC circuits, high-frequency narrow-band amplifiers are studied, followed by broadband amplifiers. Then we examine the important issue of noise with the design example of low-noise amplifiers (LNA). Nonlinear circuits are studied next with the examples of mixers. A study of oscillators and phase noise follows. Afterwards we introduce phase-locked loops (PLL) and frequency synthesizers. The course concludes with an overview of transceivers architectures. The course emphasizes the development of both circuit design intuition and analytical skills. There are bi-weekly design labs and a term project using industry-standard EDA tools (ADS, Asitic, etc.).

Description: A well working monetary system is crucial to the high functioning of an economy. If the monetary system breaks down, commercial society is turned upside down. The better we know what money is and how it can affect economic activity, the greater will be our ability to avoid future monetary crises. This course breaks down the principles of money, banking and financial markets into three areas. First is an institutional and historical analysis of the development of money and financial institutions. Second will be a theoretical introduction to the money market using the standard economic framework of supply and demand. We will study whether (and if so, how) disruptions in the money market can have an effect on prices, but also on the real economy, including the level of economic activity and interest rates. The final part will address the tools of monetary policy, including an introduction to the international financial system, and ideas for how to reform existing banking and currency regimes, time permitting.

Description: In the context of the global economy, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is blessed with vast mineral resources and agricultural lands able to produce a wide variety of tropical products and foods. The country's large population is made up of talented and highly resourceful individuals, who are quick to respond to economic incentives. Thus, it is hard to understand why the country has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world and why the country's economy occupies such a lowly position within the global economy. We focus on the historical development of socio-economic/political structures over time to explain why the giant of Africa continues to slumber. Some of the country's central problems, such as ethnic and religious contradictions, are similar in some way to those in the U.S. The solutions attempted by the governments of both countries, such as affirmative action, are also somewhat similar. We will conduct a comparative analysis of contemporary historical issues in the two countries.

Description: The debate on the role of the state versus that of the free market in the socioeconomic process is as old as the history of political economy. We discuss what economists, political scientists, & economic historians characterize as the Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus or the Asian model. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of some notable thinkers — Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, & Friedrich von Hayek. The greater part of the course deals with selected historical cases across the globe. The discussions are informed by a political economy conceptual framework, which helps to explain the politics and economics of state policy and the long-run historical processes that created the political & economic conditions. Students’ performance is based on three short essays (four typed pages each) presented to the class for discussion and thereafter revised for grading. No mid-term & final examinations.

Description: Game theory, despite its frivolous-sounding name, gives us a unified approach to understanding social phenomena. It helps us understand not just the way people play games in the usual sense, like tic-tac-toe, chess or poker, but the way they behave in complex social situations as well. Examples of situations to which we will apply the theory include (but are not limited to): arms races, provision of public goods, competition between firms, electoral campaigns, voting, auctions, and bargaining. While there are no formal prerequisites, aptitude for logical or mathematical reasoning is desirable.

Description: Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are violent manifestations of plate tectonics, the movement of the relatively rigid plates forming the Earth's outer shell. Ground movements and shaking from these events may generate tsunamis, slumping and mass wasting, and increase risk in other areas. Global and regional sealevel rise changes forces on the plates, motivating reconsideration of hazard assessments. Large volumes of aerosols and greenhouse gases are emitted during the volcanic eruptions, with implications for global climate change. The first third of the class focuses on the causative mechanisms of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, volcanic-eruption induced climate change. The second third outlines the consequent hazards and forecasting efforts, and feedbacks between these processes. The final third of the course examines mitigation programs, with numerous case studies.

Description: The atmosphere helps to maintain habitable temperatures on our planet's surface, shields life from destructive cosmic and ultraviolet radiation and contains gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are essential for life. In this course we will work toward an understanding of several important questions. What is in the Earth's atmosphere? What are the sources and sinks of the most important gases in the atmosphere? How does the atmosphere affect the Earth's surface climate? What is the role of photochemistry in atmospheric composition? How does the atmosphere interact with the land and oceans? How has human activity affected the atmosphere?

Description: We tend to take it for granted that we each have a unique story that in some way constitutes the core narrative of our life; the widespread popularity of memoirs and autobiographies today testifies to the appeal of writing that story down and sharing it. But writing about oneself and one’s life experiences was not especially common in earlier centuries, and those texts we do have often look quite different. We shape ourselves even as we write our selves, and exploring the variety of early life-writing can offer us a rich new perspective on the way we tell our own story. In this course, we will be studying some of the greatest examples of early self-writing which survive, reading authors from Augustine, Dante, and Abelard to Cellini, Montaigne, and Pepys -- and ending the term with Benjamin Franklin’s famous autobiography. Along the way we will explore questions of genre, authenticity, self-consciousness, self-fashioning, and textual authority.

Description: Homer, Virgil, and Ovid. The tragedy and comedy of the Greeks: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Aristophanes. Plato and Aristotle, the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The two great traditions studied in this course -- classical and scriptural -- have been pondered by generations of writers and artists for thousands of years. A great deal of western literary history is the story of rewriting and adapting the core texts of these traditions; it has been said that the European philosophical tradition is “a series of footnotes to Plato.” While doing justice to any one of these fascinating authors in a single semester would be a challenge, the goal of this class is to read and discuss as much of the classical and scriptural tradition as we can, giving you a solid foundation in the key stories and ideas that have generated so much thought, debate, and human creativity over the past two millennia. Freshmen welcome!

Description: This course introduces students to some of the most significant literature from the Romantic, Victorian, and Modern literary periods. Beginning with the outbreak of the French Revolution and ending with World War I, the years covered by this course represent a time of dramatic political, economic, and cultural change. The nineteenth century witnessed the rise of industrialism, rapid imperialist expansion, religious crisis, increasing democracy, and shifts in gender and class identity. In exploring this tumultuous time period, the course will focus on an array of novelists, poets, and essayists who will serve as touchstones for the key political, intellectual, and aesthetic problems of their times (e.g. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Dickens, G. Eliot, Browning, J.S. Mill, Arnold, Ruskin, Yeats, and Woolf). Students will not only gain a greater appreciation for individual authors, but they will also be able to situate them within a larger framework of ideas and historical currents.

The course interprets this tradition not only as the production of American writers of African descent, but also as a set works that display formal characteristics associated with black cultural traditions. Discussion topics include the meanings of race, the construction of black identity, and intra-racial differences of class, gender, and sexuality. Special attention will be paid to approaching literary texts from a variety of critical perspectives.

We will look at a range of both media and historical tendencies related to the media, including manuscript culture, print, and the rise of the newspaper, novel, and modern nation-state; photography, film, television and their respective differences as visual mediums; important shifts in attitudes towards painting; the place of sound in the media of modernity; and the computerization of culture brought about by the computer, social networks, video games, and cell phones. In looking at these, we will consider both the approaches that key scholars in the field of media studies use, and the concepts that are central to the field itself (media/medium; medium-specificity; remediation; the culture industry; reification and utopia; cultural politics). By the end of the class, students will have developed a toolkit for understanding, analyzing, and even using the media that shape their lives in late modernity.

Description: Beowulf, a poem (on the surface) about monsters, is one of those well-known but seldom read texts of the “dark ages.” Yet we can’t let go of it. It hangs there like Grendel’s arm in an uncertain era of Anglo-Saxon culture. It’s like not knowing who wrote Hamlet or why, and what century it derives from. This course examines the nature of translation and adaptation, by reading translations of Beowulf and studying its many remediations. Not only will we look at the facsimile of the manuscript with the accompanying texts, we will read older and newer translations of Beowulf, including that by Tolkien, watch four movies based on Beowulf, listen to performances, read Gardner’s Grendel in order to understand what readers today find lacking or redeemable in this difficult text. There will be minimal instruction in Old English when we pop over to the original. I’ll probably end by having you rewrite it in some creative way. After all, Tolkien re-invented the cultures and languages he was studying. So why not?

Description: The properties of letters and numbers have been associated with the occult from ancient times on. Together we will explore the development of this concept in Hebraic, medieval and early modern traditions where language served to hide, protect, conjure, and transform: the letters of the Paternoster that defeat the devil, Odin’s Mead of Poetry, Taliesin’s aretalogies, Germanic runes, riddles, charms, loricae, spells, ciphers (the indecipherable Voynich Manuscript, the banned Steganography by Trithemius of Sponheim), magic and foreign alphabets, deific languages (the Irish “Evernew Tongue”), demonic languages, invented languages (Hildegard of Bingen’s Lingua Ignota), John Dee’s “language of the angels,” Enochian,” adopted by Aleister Crowley for his “Order of the Golden Dawn.” I want to discover what properties in language do more than just signify, and how they compare to contemporary concepts of secrecy, encryption, asemic poetry, conlanging, and the philosophy of language.

Description: Chaucer’s reputation as “Father” of English sometimes obscures his claims to other superlatives: funniest (lol) and wittiest, most book-learned, most outrageous, most intellectually curious, most experimental. His alter ego, Geffrey, occupies the heart of many of his fictions, and this entirely likeable, intensely intimate, but totally elusive persona creates enormous pleasure and provocation. His portrayal of sexual relations and identities have unsettled and enriched the expectations of all readers. We will explore and enjoy his greatest poetry, including the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, arguably the best long poem ever written in English. The course aims to create an indelible impression of Chaucer’s writing, and a broad appreciation of medieval culture. We will read and recite Chaucer’s distinctive words and sounds, memorable in themselves and in opening new vistas on the language we now speak. Writing includes a series of response papers, as well as a longer final paper and take-home final.

Hang out with artists, writers, and composers from around the world who do this kind of thing? This 2-credit course, funded by the Rossell Hope Robbins Library in Rush Rhees, will meet in my representation of it in Second Life once a week. My goal is to introduce you not only to four Middle Welsh texts called The Mabinogi, but get you thinking about adaptation, remediation, and Otherworlds in a place that is literally an Otherworld full of Celtic environments. I hope we can mingle with talented residents of Second Life who may discuss their own adaptations, even interest them in joining us to build a Mabinogi Gallery on my rented premises. Instructions on navigating Second Life are included. At least one form of remediation and a final paper about experiencing virtuality, neomedievalism, and digital resources are required.

Description: The class will explore the full range of Shakespeare's theater, including examples of history plays, comedy, tragedy, and romance. We will be approaching the plays from many angles, looking at their stark and extravagant language, their invention of complex, conflicted human characters, their analyses of the worlds of politics and war, their self-conscious theatricality, as well as the ways that they join together play and seriousness, the tragic and the comic. We’ll discuss the plays’ fascination with madness and delusion, the work of dreams, as well as their interest in ghosts, witchcraft, and magic. Lectures will consider Shakespeare both in his own time and in ours, in order to understand why his work still speaks to us so powerfully. The reading list will include Romeo and Juliet, Richard II, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Winter's Tale. Fulfills pre-1800 requirement for the English major.

Description: In recent decades scholars have become increasingly aware of the impact of women novelists in the development of the early English novel. This course allows students to read both canonical and lesser known early women novelists. As we analyze select works from women authors from the late 17th to the 19th century, we will address questions of historical, formal, and cultural significance. What role did public condemnations of novel reading by women play in the reception of novels written by women? How did women writers adapt the familiar conventions of the gothic and epistolary novel in ways that address the challenges of entering into a publishing industry controlled by men? Why did some men of letters support women novelists? To answer these and other questions, we will emphasize close reading of assigned texts. In addition, we will investigate critical and historical analyses of early women’s writing and the English novel.

Description: The era of British romanticism (1780-1830) finds its life in the midst of extreme stress and change: new science and technology, new politics, new commerce. Artistically, romanticism manifested new forms of interest in the most ordinary and most extraordinary phenomena. Writers of astounding talent experimented with radical forms of creativity shaped by equally radical theories of art—sometimes at the dangerous edge where dreams meet reality in “visions.” Other writers searched for new ways of capturing everyday life with unprecedented depth and intensity. We shall focus on the most useful ways to understand the full scope of these efforts.

Description: This course engages with representations of black childhood in a United States context from the antebellum period through the 21st century. The course begins with exploration of the paradoxical and precarious position of black children in slavery and then maps shifts in the representational currency of black childhood. We will focus on how the social, judicial and economic maintenance of white supremacy, as well as the changing socio-political status of children impact narratives of black childhood. Consequently, we will also address how black writers, artists and scholars deploy black childhood as a means to critique and defy white supremacy. Our course materials will be primarily literary as we critically read slave narratives, children’s literature, autobiography and fiction, but we will also study representations of black childhood in film, television and popular culture.

Description: As most scientists now agree, race is less a scientific truth than a social construct—a massively agreed-upon reality without real scientific basis. If this is true, then we might well wonder why U.S. culture embraced it in the first place. And if we accept the proposition that the reign of this strange idea is nearing the end of its history, we ought to become even more curious about how it has reigned so easily for so long. The answer might have more to do with language and literature than we would normally assume. If we take seriously the idea that race can be thought of as an elaborate “cultural fiction,” it makes sense to ask whether fiction and the arts actually helped to make it seem like such a significant truth of human identity. In this class, then, we will trace the fascinating and vexing literary career of “race” in Anglophone America, from the British colonial period, to its decades of dominance in the mid-nineteenth-century U.S., and up to the twentieth-century challenges to that idea.

Description: We will focus on the works of Walt Whitman and then those poets who come after and form what might be called a Whitman tradition including Emily Dickinson, Hart Crane, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, John Berryman, Elizabeth Bishop and others. We will develop readings of major works by each poet, with special attention to the attempt in each case to create a paradoxical form of poetic sublimity rooted in intensely private public-stagings of the self. We will also develop an account of the idea of poetry in, the claims for poetry made by each poet, and we will consider the character of each poet’s formal innovations, fidelity, and rebellions. We will consider the nature and significance of "tradition" for these poets, the importance of national, gendered, and sexual identities in their work, and the differing visions of American culture and history that each reflects upon and constructs.

Description: When the now-classic novels of writers like James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and D. H. Lawrence were published in the first part of the 20th century, readers were shocked by both their style and content. In the face of revolutionary upheavals in social and political life and in the understanding of human psychology and personal relationships, these writers proclaimed the end of fiction as we know it. Exploring the limits and possibilities of language and form, they called into question the very idea of “the novel” and its appropriate subject matter. Looking back from our vantage in the 21st century, we will reassess what made these novels appear so shocking. Pairing earlier twentieth-century works with novels from the second half of the century, we will also look at the way later writers revised the idea of modern consciousness and the fiction appropriate to it and at the ways they responded to the post WWII remapping of the British Empire and to the construction of postmodern and postcolonial identities.

Description: This course will explore a tradition of stories that center around troubled fictions of childhood, in particular works that focus on the figure of the dangerous or haunted child. The fascination of such children in these books comes from their strange joining together of innocence and knowledge, vulnerability and power—hence the often vexed nature of these children's encounters with the adult world. These stories emerge especially in Romanticism, with its re-evaluation of the nature of childhood, and its feeling for the buried or unconscious powers of the human mind more generally. They continue to grip modern writers. Readings will include William Blake, Songs of Innocence and Experience; poems by William Wordsworth; Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland; Henry James, The Turn of the Screw; J. M. Barrie, Peter and Wendy; Richard Hughes, High Wind in Jamaica; Elizabeth Bowen, The Death of the Heart; Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita; and shorter works by Kafka, Freud, and Angela Carter. Fits the post-1800 requirement.

Description: An isolated country parsonage. A half mad father. A profligate brother addicted to drugs. Three uniquely gifted sisters who burned their hearts and brains out on the moors, but not before leaving us some of the most passionate and revolutionary literature of the 19th c. This is the stuff of the Brontë legend. This course will explore the continuing appeal of the Brontës and the peculiar fascination that they have exercised on the literary imagination. Looking intensively at some of the best-loved novels of all time, we will explore the roots and reaches of the Brontë myth. We will also consider the Brontës’ legacy in in some of the many adaptations (and continuations) of their work in print and on the screen. And we will look at our seemingly insatiable appetite for new tellings of the Brontës’ life stories. The course, then, will consider not the only the Brontës’ literary productions, but also our culture’s production and reproduction of “the Brontës” over the years.

Description: From their very beginnings, Arthurian stories have fixated on a lost past or a longed-for future, often at once ideal and catastrophic. Their plots feature seamless male bonding and codes of honor alongside disruptive sexual desire and brutal violence. We will explore the deep roots and often surprising pleasures of these chivalric traditions, beginning with Celtic, Latin, French, German, Dutch, and English of the Middle Ages, and tracing their afterlife into the 21st century. Highlights will include Marie de France, Wolfram von Eschenbach, Malory, as well as popular and literary retellings. We will study the medievalism of William Morris, the Pre-Raphaelites, Mark Twain, and Wagner’s operas, along with the striking visual projections that accompany these traditions at all times. We will conclude by considering a series of videos and films including Monty Python, Mists of Avalon, Camelot, Spamalot and others. Students will share responses throughout the semester, and write a final paper and take-home exam.

From documentary film to mobile computing devices, media have the contradictory role of creating unprecedented connectivity while generating widespread experiences of remoteness, alienation, hyper-memory, and profound amnesia. Our study will emphasize reading critical texts and putting them into dialogue with new media artifacts by creative practitioners. Topics to be studied include natural history, sustainability, environmentalism, industrialization, e-waste, media art, surveillance culture, cultural commons, time-space compression, news coverage of unnatural disasters, the politics of factory farms and amusement parks, and performance art about environmental justice.

The poems we write may take any shape, any form, but we will work towards understanding why a particular poem must take the shape it has; we will pay attention not so much to what the poems say as to how they say it.

Description: This course will examine histories and theories of activism and performance alongside discussions of the role of competitive debate inside and outside of the academy. While most conventional views of debate stress its importance in developing ideas of democratic citizenship by learning to advance arguments that differ from one’s own beliefs, an alternative view contends that debate can be a training ground for activism, and that debaters shouldn’t separate their personal beliefs and identities from their argumentation. It follows to think through the implications of such challenges to that conventional paradigm for debate, and to what extent they can translate into real-world activist practices. How do such challenges employ formal and stylistic elements to mount performative attacks on conventional modes of public discourse? We will explore how historical shifts in competitive debate practices enable us to rethink the roles of alternative forms of speech, the body, and cultural difference in argumentation.

Students will learn about the form and function of “the sentence” and its parts, develop the ability to see patterns and possibilities within and across sentences, and create and analyze sentences of wildly different shapes. Assignments will regularly involve meaningful play with sentences. Through a final project, students will investigate some aspect of the sentence in extended discourse or discuss how knowledge of the sentence might be meaningfully integrated into a writing curriculum. This course is ideal for those interested in writing, writing education, or editing. Background in linguistics or grammar is not necessary. Open to undergraduates and graduate students.

Prerequisites: A workshop for students who have completed ENG 275 or have some experience writing fiction on their own and are ready to concentrate on more ambitious projects. Permission of instructor required.
Description: In this advanced workshop, students will be encouraged to refine their skills as fiction writers. In conjunction with our critiques of original fiction by students, we will be reading and discussing exemplary stories by contemporary writers. Throughout the semester, we will be considering ways writers can sharpen the conversation between text and reader. Students will also be learning techniques for editing and reviewing literary fiction. Members of the workshop will be expected to write and revise at least three original stories or three sections of a novel. Permission of instructor required.

Prerequisites: Permission of instructor is required. Students are to submit 3-5 typed poems, preferably before the first class.
Description: Poems, as William Carlos Williams once said, are machines made out of words, and in this advanced poetry workshop we will work on making the most gorgeous, gripping, and efficient machines possible. To that end, we will read both one another's poems and poems by established authors, in either case paying attention to the ways in which the authors harness aspects of their medium, the English language: syntax, diction, rhythm. The poems we write may take any shape, any form, but we will work towards understanding why a particular poem must take the shape it has; we will pay attention not so much to what the poems say as to how they say it. Requirements: weekly writing and reading assignments, revisions of assignments, devoted participation in class discussions, a final project.

Description: This advanced seminar considers how digital projects contribute to our understanding of English Renaissance Literature. We examine digital editing projects, manuscript and print archives, indexes and catalogues, journals and books, teaching resources, and sites whose compiled materials are dedicated to individual authors, practices, or spaces (like the theaters). In order to assess the accessibility, applicability, and reliability of these digital projects, we read both works of English Renaissance literature and works of literary criticism. Readings include literary works by Jonson, Milton, Shakespeare, and Spenser. Students submit short research exercises throughout the semester and assemble one longer research paper or project.

Description: In this seminar, we'll do two things at once: read the works associated with the 19th-century "American Renaissance", and also read the great books of 20th-century criticism that produce and defend this tradition. We alternate weeks between works of literature and criticism, in order to establish an interesting reciprocal dialogue between the two kinds of writing. Of criticism, we'll ask: Which authors or works did critics value or devalue in order to make a "tradition"? What happens when we focus on the "literary" elements of critical prose? Of the literature: what features of form or content made certain works the harbingers of a cultural "rebirth"? Is there any sense in which these literary works do something like "criticism" - e.g., in thinking about their own value as fulfilling the call for a national aesthetic? Readings include literary works by Melville, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, and critical works by D.H. Lawrence, F.O. Matthiessen, Leslie Fiedler, and Richard Poirier.

Issues to be explored include boundary transgression and bodily abjection in the construction of the horror monster; gender, pregnancy, and the monstrous-feminine; social Otherness (race, class, sexuality) as monstrosity; the figure of the serial killer and the shift from classic to modern horror; the grotesque and the blending of comedy and horror in the zombie film. As a research seminar, the course will involve the development of a substantial research project.

Description: A number of internships are available through the UR International Theatre Program. One of the most popular is our semester-long PR Internship. Theatre PR Interns help create all publicity materials for events in Todd Theatre or events sponsored by the Theatre Program, including drafting press releases, planning marketing campaigns, etc. They distribute publicity materials both on and off campus. Finally, PR interns staff the box office during productions, interacting with the public and the theater personnel. The PR internship is an excellent way to get a hands-on introduction to all the basic elements of public relations and marketing. You'll also interact with artists, directors, journalists and public-relations professionals as part of the internship. Interns should have good writing skills and be willing to work creatively. Skills in graphic design are a plus. To apply to be a PR intern (or to find out about other internship opportunities), email Nigel, or stop by the Theatre Program offices (Todd 207).

Description: Beowulf, a poem (on the surface) about monsters, is one of those well-known but seldom read texts of the “dark ages.” Yet we can’t let go of it. It hangs there like Grendel’s arm in an uncertain era of Anglo-Saxon culture. It’s like not knowing who wrote Hamlet or why, and what century it derives from. This course examines the nature of translation and adaptation, by reading translations of Beowulf and studying its many remediations. Not only will we look at the facsimile of the manuscript with the accompanying texts, we will read older and newer translations of Beowulf, including that by Tolkien, watch four movies based on Beowulf, listen to performances, read Gardner’s Grendel in order to understand what readers today find lacking or redeemable in this difficult text. There will be minimal instruction in Old English when we pop over to the original. I’ll probably end by having you rewrite it in some creative way. After all, Tolkien re-invented the cultures and languages he was studying. So why not?

Description: The properties of letters and numbers have been associated with the occult from ancient times on. Together we will explore the development of this concept in Hebraic, medieval and early modern traditions where language served to hide, protect, conjure, and transform: the letters of the Paternoster that defeat the devil, Odin’s Mead of Poetry, Taliesin’s aretalogies, Germanic runes, riddles, charms, loricae, spells, ciphers (the indecipherable Voynich Manuscript, the banned Steganography by Trithemius of Sponheim), magic and foreign alphabets, deific languages (the Irish “Evernew Tongue”), demonic languages, invented languages (Hildegard of Bingen’s Lingua Ignota), John Dee’s “language of the angels,” Enochian,” adopted by Aleister Crowley for his “Order of the Golden Dawn.” I want to discover what properties in language do more than just signify, and how they compare to contemporary concepts of secrecy, encryption, asemic poetry, conlanging, and the philosophy of language.

Description: Chaucer’s reputation as “Father” of English sometimes obscures his claims to other superlatives: funniest (lol) and wittiest, most book-learned, most outrageous, most intellectually curious, most experimental. His alter ego, Geffrey, occupies the heart of many of his fictions, and this entirely likeable, intensely intimate, but totally elusive persona creates enormous pleasure and provocation. His portrayal of sexual relations and identities have unsettled and enriched the expectations of all readers. We will explore and enjoy his greatest poetry, including the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, arguably the best long poem ever written in English. The course aims to create an indelible impression of Chaucer’s writing, and a broad appreciation of medieval culture. We will read and recite Chaucer’s distinctive words and sounds, memorable in themselves and in opening new vistas on the language we now speak. Writing includes a series of response papers, as well as a longer final paper and take-home final.

Description: The class will explore the full range of Shakespeare's theater, including examples of history plays, comedy, tragedy, and romance. We will be approaching the plays from many angles, looking at their stark and extravagant language, their invention of complex, conflicted human characters, their analyses of the worlds of politics and war, their self-conscious theatricality, as well as the ways that they join together play and seriousness, the tragic and the comic. We’ll discuss the plays’ fascination with madness and delusion, the work of dreams, as well as their interest in ghosts, witchcraft, and magic. Lectures will consider Shakespeare both in his own time and in ours, in order to understand why his work still speaks to us so powerfully. The reading list will include Romeo and Juliet, Richard II, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Winter's Tale. Fulfills pre-1800 requirement for the English major.

Description: The era of British romanticism (1780-1830) finds its life in the midst of extreme stress and change: new science and technology, new politics, new commerce. Artistically, romanticism manifested new forms of interest in the most ordinary and most extraordinary phenomena. Writers of astounding talent experimented with radical forms of creativity shaped by equally radical theories of art—sometimes at the dangerous edge where dreams meet reality in “visions.” Other writers searched for new ways of capturing everyday life with unprecedented depth and intensity. We shall focus on the most useful ways to understand the full scope of these efforts.

Description: As most scientists now agree, race is less a scientific truth than a social construct—a massively agreed-upon reality without real scientific basis. If this is true, then we might well wonder why U.S. culture embraced it in the first place. And if we accept the proposition that the reign of this strange idea is nearing the end of its history, we ought to become even more curious about how it has reigned so easily for so long. The answer might have more to do with language and literature than we would normally assume. If we take seriously the idea that race can be thought of as an elaborate “cultural fiction,” it makes sense to ask whether fiction and the arts actually helped to make it seem like such a significant truth of human identity. In this class, then, we will trace the fascinating and vexing literary career of “race” in Anglophone America, from the British colonial period, to its decades of dominance in the mid-nineteenth-century U.S., and up to the twentieth-century challenges to that idea.

Description: We will focus on the works of Walt Whitman and then those poets who come after and form what might be called a Whitman tradition including Emily Dickinson, Hart Crane, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, John Berryman, Elizabeth Bishop and others. We will develop readings of major works by each poet, with special attention to the attempt in each case to create a paradoxical form of poetic sublimity rooted in intensely private public-stagings of the self. We will also develop an account of the idea of poetry in, the claims for poetry made by each poet, and we will consider the character of each poet’s formal innovations, fidelity, and rebellions. We will consider the nature and significance of "tradition" for these poets, the importance of national, gendered, and sexual identities in their work, and the differing visions of American culture and history that each reflects upon and constructs.

Description: When the now-classic novels of writers like James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and D. H. Lawrence were published in the first part of the 20th century, readers were shocked by both their style and content. In the face of revolutionary upheavals in social and political life and in the understanding of human psychology and personal relationships, these writers proclaimed the end of fiction as we know it. Exploring the limits and possibilities of language and form, they called into question the very idea of “the novel” and its appropriate subject matter. Looking back from our vantage in the 21st century, we will reassess what made these novels appear so shocking. Pairing earlier twentieth-century works with novels from the second half of the century, we will also look at the way later writers revised the idea of modern consciousness and the fiction appropriate to it and at the ways they responded to the post WWII remapping of the British Empire and to the construction of postmodern and postcolonial identities.

Description: An isolated country parsonage. A half mad father. A profligate brother addicted to drugs. Three uniquely gifted sisters who burned their hearts and brains out on the moors, but not before leaving us some of the most passionate and revolutionary literature of the 19th c. This is the stuff of the Brontë legend. This course will explore the continuing appeal of the Brontës and the peculiar fascination that they have exercised on the literary imagination. Looking intensively at some of the best-loved novels of all time, we will explore the roots and reaches of the Brontë myth. We will also consider the Brontës’ legacy in in some of the many adaptations (and continuations) of their work in print and on the screen. And we will look at our seemingly insatiable appetite for new tellings of the Brontës’ life stories. The course, then, will consider not the only the Brontës’ literary productions, but also our culture’s production and reproduction of “the Brontës” over the years.

Description: From their very beginnings, Arthurian stories have fixated on a lost past or a longed-for future, often at once ideal and catastrophic. Their plots feature seamless male bonding and codes of honor alongside disruptive sexual desire and brutal violence. We will explore the deep roots and often surprising pleasures of these chivalric traditions, beginning with Celtic, Latin, French, German, Dutch, and English of the Middle Ages, and tracing their afterlife into the 21st century. Highlights will include Marie de France, Wolfram von Eschenbach, Malory, as well as popular and literary retellings. We will study the medievalism of William Morris, the Pre-Raphaelites, Mark Twain, and Wagner’s operas, along with the striking visual projections that accompany these traditions at all times. We will conclude by considering a series of videos and films including Monty Python, Mists of Avalon, Camelot, Spamalot and others. Students will share responses throughout the semester, and write a final paper and take-home exam.

Description: This course examines major historical movements and styles in the documentary film tradition, and explores the migration of documentary across a range of (multi-)media platforms. We will study the expository documentary, ethnographic film, the direct cinema and cinéma vérité movements, documentary’s intersections with avant-garde film, mock documentary and hoax films, personal and autobiographical film and video, animated documentary, and digital interactive documentary media. We will engage with these film and media forms through a variety of approaches: critical and theoretical readings and class discussion, written responses and longer analytical and research-based papers, and hands-on media work including video essays and found-footage editing projects. No previous experience with nonlinear editing systems such as Final Cut Pro is required, but students must be willing to critically and creatively explore nonfiction media as both scholars and makers.

Description: Poems, as William Carlos Williams once said, are machines made out of words, and in this advanced poetry workshop we will work on making the most gorgeous, gripping, and efficient machines possible. To that end, we will read both one another's poems and poems by established authors, in either case paying attention to the ways in which the authors harness aspects of their medium, the English language: syntax, diction, rhythm. The poems we write may take any shape, any form, but we will work towards understanding why a particular poem must take the shape it has; we will pay attention not so much to what the poems say as to how they say it. Requirements: weekly writing and reading assignments, revisions of assignments, devoted participation in class discussions, a final project.

Description: In an era of astounding change and stress, the literary and artistic experiments of poet, painter, printer, prophet William Blake (1757-1827) attempted to capture the most intense and significant range of human thought, emotion, and experience at their very origins. Most of Blake’s contemporaries rejected his work as perverse, foolish, awkward, and perhaps insane. But a talented later generation resurrected Blake as their prototype of artistic genius and the life of imagination. We shall trace his difficult legacy across a range of multimedia artistic practices and theories. And we shall use his work as an opportunity to investigate the means and methods of understanding artistic “difficulty” and “obscurity.”

Description: What is form? Some of the best answers to this question emerge in the Marxist tradition of thought that has unfolded since the 19th century. This is because one of the features of that tradition is the interrelationship that it powerfully develops between a theory about a form and the form that theory takes. The forms are not only aesthetic (e.g., montage, allegory, novel, lyric poetry, the essay, genre, spectacle, art, beauty), but also political and economic (e.g., proletariat and bourgeoisie, class, commodity, working day, labor, value, money, strike, riot, revolution, commune, communism). While we will not survey Marxism exhaustively, we will grapple with what form is by confronting its economic, political, and aesthetic forms in the Marxist tradition. Our method will be to close read: always to describe and explain, and sometimes to interpret and challenge, the texts in front of us. In doing so, graduate students should also gain a useful set of models for thinking about the form of their own arguments.

Description: Toni Morrison’s essay “Unspeakable Things Unspoken” and her volume Playing in the Dark revolutionized the study of American literature. In revealing the “Africanist” presence in the work of white writers, Morrison deconstructed oppositional stances in debates about canonicity and generated new interest in—and approaches to—American fiction. Using Morrison’s claims as starting points and her methodology as an example, this course will analyze the fiction of American writers with a sensitivity for the representations and figurations of blackness in their work in order to understand those works as occasions and/or analyses of racial discourse. The course will ask and seek to answer the following questions: How is the tradition of American literature a tradition of racial representation? How is blackness figuratively represented? What roles do such “Africanisms” play in the discursive construction of whiteness, masculinity, citizenship, and an “American” identity?

Classroom observations and individual meetings offer new teachers a chance to assess their classes, identify their teaching strengths, and address teaching difficulties. The larger goal of all meetings is to encourage the instructors to work with their colleagues across the disciplines to create a supportive and intellectually challenging community of writing instructors.

Description: This course introduces students to the theory and practice of media studies. We will look at a range of both media and historical tendencies related to the media, including manuscript culture, print, and the rise of the newspaper, novel, and modern nation-state; photography, film, television and their respective differences as visual mediums; important shifts in attitudes towards painting; the place of sound in the media of modernity; and the computerization of culture brought about by the computer, social networks, video games, and cell phones. In looking at these, we will consider both the approaches that key scholars in the field of media studies use, and the concepts that are central to the field itself (media/medium; medium-specificity; remediation; the culture industry; reification and utopia; cultural politics). By the end of the class, students will have developed a toolkit for understanding, analyzing, and even using the media that shape their lives in late modernity.

Description: This course ​investigates how contemporary media shape understandings, experiences, and imagination of nature and the environment.​ ​Media​ ​rearrange planetary spaces, bringing news of global ecological destruction onto our screens, enabling us to carry “places” around in our pockets, telling us when to turn left, when to turn right. From documentary film to mobile computing devices, media have the contradictory role of creating unprecedented connectivity while generating widespread experiences of remoteness, alienation, hyper-memory, and profound amnesia. Our study will emphasize reading critical texts and putting them into dialogue with new media artifacts by creative practitioners. Topics to be studied include natural history, sustainability, environmentalism, industrialization, e-waste, media art, surveillance culture, cultural commons, time-space compression, news coverage of unnatural disasters, the politics of factory farms and amusement parks, and performance art about environmental justice.

Description: The dawn of the age of movies coincided with the Russian Revolution, and film was Lenin’s favorite art form. The course surveys Russian film from the beginnings to the present. The course investigates the major role that cinema played in shaping the national and political identity of the Soviet Union, and looks at what was artistically interesting and popular about these films, some of whose directors, like Eisenstein and Tarkovsky, are among the world’s most influential filmmakers.

Description: In this course we will explore representations of women in post-World War II German cinema. Moving chronologically from the building of two German states to the post-unification period, we will consider the constantly shifting meaning of 'woman' in popular and avant-garde films, narrative and documentary films, films by both male and female directors. We will consider equally films from East and West Germany. How does 'woman' function as a narrative device in these films? Do women behind the camera change 'woman's' meaning within the film? Can 'woman' consistently be reduced to one narrative trope (mother, comrade or whore), or does she resist? All readings and discussions are in English; all films are subtitled.

Description: This course presents an overview of cinema in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong from the 1930s to the present, considering how cinema has served a means of representing and reshaping Chinese historical identities and everyday life at home and abroad. We will approach film as a mixed medium of narrative, image, and sound, and focus on how it represents the spectacle of modern China by mediating among recurring issues of modern (especially urban) life, the persistence of the past, the relations of place to Chinese and global culture, and the staging of these questions through issues of gender and ethnicity. Throughout, we will pay close attention to the interaction of themes, narrative genres (such as melodrama), formal techniques, and cultural and social context.

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.

Description: In February 2011, the website Jewcy published a list of the 50 most essential works of Jewish fiction of the last 100 years. The featured books come from many different languages, cultures, and time periods and are written in a myriad of literary styles. Although few would argue with the names on the list (Kafka, Bellow, Singer), the diversity of the authors involved raises the question: what makes Jewish literature Jewish? This course will attempt to answer that question by looking at an international group of writers (some of whom identify as Jewish and some of whom do not) who often challenge their (religious and cultural) upbringing as well as the dominant politics of the countries in which they live. The authors we will read include: Franz Kafka, Jakov Lind, Bruno Schulz, Edmund Jabès, Georges Perec and Clarice Lispector.

We will consider equally films from East and West Germany. How does 'woman' function as a narrative device in these films? Do women behind the camera change 'woman's' meaning within the film? Can 'woman' consistently be reduced to one narrative trope (mother, comrade or whore), or does she resist? All readings and discussions are in English; all films are subtitled.

Description: This introductory research seminar explores the relationship between the policy of apartheid, or legal segregation, and economic development in South Africa. Two hypotheses, drawn from two schools of thought that have dominated South African historical studies since the 1950s, will guide our analysis. The first school holds apartheid as an impediment to economic development, while the second postulates legal segregation as a necessary condition for the country’s prosperity since World War II. Students will have opportunities to interrogate the two contending hypotheses and to advance their own interpretations on the basis of secondary literature as well as documentary and oral primary sources.

Description: What does it mean to live in a city? Can you reshape people’s lives by redesigning city spaces? How do city dwellers, architects, politicians, and others interact with and appropriate their own urban past? This interdisciplinary course will introduce students to different ways of looking at cities, framing them as the contested products of a range of human actions. Through an in-depth examination of four complex urban environments – Chicago, Istanbul, Delhi, and Rome – we will learn about the interplay between space, aesthetics, time, memory, and power. Weekly lectures by an anthropologist, an architect, and a historian will complement discussions of film, historical documents, fiction, and relevant case studies. In addition to writing four short papers, students will hone their analytical skills by observing urban life and form with a series of field studies in the city of Rochester.

Students will be exposed to some of the principal historical debates about the period, as well as the major types of primary sources available in English translation, and will develop facility in reading, analyzing, and interpreting both primary and secondary sources.

Description: This course will explore the many types of energy resources that have been used to provide heat, light, and power for residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation uses. The major energy resources in the ancient world were renewables (wind, solar, wood) along with muscle power, and this changed very little until the end of the 18th Century when coal came into widespread use. In the late 19th Century petroleum began its rise to become the most widely used energy resource, with natural gas and nuclear energy securing significant market share in the 20th Century. Despite widespread recognition of the environmental consequences of widespread use of fossil fuels, the transition back to renewable resources continues at a very slow pace. This course will explore the history of these various energy resources and how they were utilized, and offer students an opportunity to project various paths to a sustainable energy future.

Description: In the 21st century the American way of fighting has become synonymous with counterinsurgency. The "War on Terror" has lacked many fixtures of conventional warfare, from a formal declaration and popular involvement to clear and shared notions of who are our enemies and what constitutes victory. While this predicament may seem novel, its original outline is most clearly discerned in what Americans call the "The Vietnam War" and what Vietnamese consider "The American War." "Vietnam: The American War" explores that conflict - one of America's longest and most tumultuous - in order to interrogate the confusions, contradictions, and asymmetries of modern American warfare. By examining the conflict's origins and impact on both America and Vietnam, it will ask students to consider why we fought, what we accomplished or lost, and whether a liberal democracy can justify waging war against an ideology in a land not its own.

Description: This course on the development of global interconnections since the fifteenth century examines the origins of colonialism and “underdevelopment” in the global South as an outcome of the crisis in European feudalism, the rise of capitalism, and the Industrial Revolution in the global North. Progress in the North and lack of the same in the South were but two sides of the same historical process. Students will also explore the nature and implications of recent changes in the above world order, as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union and, in particular, the emergence of China, Brazil, India, and several other countries as economic power houses, competing for world resources and markets with the US-led global North.

We will examine such questions as: To what extent did particular social groups drive each of these revolutions? To what extent did each of these revolutions begin with a simple collapse of the state? Were new ideologies/ideas important in bringing on each revolution? How important were efforts "from below" and "from above" ( i.e. by established elites and/or new state apparatuses) in determining the outcome of each revolution? Do modern revolutions tend to follow a common course, as Crane Brinton has argued, or are they 'sui generis'?

Description: In the context of the global economy, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is blessed with vast mineral resources and agricultural lands able to produce a wide variety of tropical products and foods. The country's large population is made up of talented and highly resourceful individuals, who are quick to respond to economic incentives. Thus, it is hard to understand why the country has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world and why the country's economy occupies such a lowly position within the global economy. We focus on the historical development of socio-economic/political structures over time to explain why the giant of Africa continues to slumber. Some of the country's central problems, such as ethnic and religious contradictions, are similar in some way to those in the U.S. The solutions attempted by the governments of both countries, such as affirmative action, are also somewhat similar. We will conduct a comparative analysis of contemporary historical issues in the two countries.

Description: This course engages with representations of black childhood in a United States context from the antebellum period through the 21st century. The course begins with exploration of the paradoxical and precarious position of black children in slavery and then maps shifts in the representational currency of black childhood. We will focus on how the social, judicial and economic maintenance of white supremacy, as well as the changing socio-political status of children impact narratives of black childhood. Consequently, we will also address how black writers, artists and scholars deploy black childhood as a means to critique and defy white supremacy. Our course materials will be primarily literary as we critically read slave narratives, children’s literature, autobiography and fiction, but we will also study representations of black childhood in film, television and popular culture.

They caused a discontinuity in time and the rhythms of ordinary life, but also produced ideas of government and the self which have cast a long shadow over today. Every social, economic and gender group was differently affected by what happened during this time of upheaval and chaos sparked by the collapse of the old monarchy. (Hence it makes some sense to talk about revolutions in the plural). Chairman Mao was once asked when he thought the French Revolution had ended "It's too soon to tell" he replied. The course proceeds through jokes, close documentary analysis, lectures and projects, and a corresponding look at whether it is indeed too soon to tell if the revolutions are over.

In America, it helped push massive military buildup and McCarthyism. It was the first battlefield of the Cold War, the first jet war, and the first “limited war” whose battlefields---Chosin, Heartbreak Ridge, and Pork Chop Hill---taught Americans painful lessons that were all too quickly forgotten as the United States stumbled into Vietnam just over a decade later. This course covers modern Korean history, the role of Soviet and American intervention, China’s entry into the war, and the trauma of a Korean nation divided between North and South. Through history books, memoirs, and films, we will explore the lessons of the “Forgotten War” and the future of the Korean Peninsula.

Description: The debate on the role of the state versus that of the free market in the socioeconomic process is as old as the history of political economy. We discuss what economists, political scientists, & economic historians characterize as the Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus or the Asian model. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of some notable thinkers — Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, & Friedrich von Hayek. The greater part of the course deals with selected historical cases across the globe. The discussions are informed by a political economy conceptual framework, which helps to explain the politics and economics of state policy and the long-run historical processes that created the political & economic conditions. Students’ performance is based on three short essays (four typed pages each) presented to the class for discussion and thereafter revised for grading. No mid-term & final examinations.

Papal governance was in question, there were widespread abuses of power, and calls for reform were being articulated throughout Christendom. In 1517 Martin Luther unleashed an unstoppable movement that would lead to the division of western Christianity into two opposing forces – Protestant and Catholic. Others followed in this wake. This course will examine how western Christianity has evolved from the 16th century to the present by using primary sources that help us understand the evolution of Christian thought from the Reformation to the present. Short, on-going reflection papers, along with class participation, are required.

This course will look at both a) the historical development of conflicting theories of human rights and b) more contemporary debates about their ideal extent, their exercise, and their enforcement. Special topics will include debates over the meaning of the American and French Revolutions, the fight to design an International Declaration of Human Rights in the aftermath of World War II, the history of organizations such as Amnesty International and institutions such as the International Criminal Court, and the controversy around UN events such as the 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, and the 2010 Summit on the Millennium Development Goals in New York City.

Description: The modern Chinese state has been shaped by its efforts to tackle economic strains. Imperial China collapsed in the throes of foreign imperialism and trade deficits. Republican China, being one of the few silver-standard countries in a gold-standard world, ran out of luck in fighting inflation. Socialist China became obsessed with a self-reliant economy, and established a state industry at the costs of impoverishing the entire rural population. And today, while China holds gigantic foreign reserves and launches spectacular Olympics and space ships, social welfare and individual rights have receded into a dim future. After toiling for gross economic surplus, will the Chinese people finally be the masters that share the fortune of the state? Come join me in this century-long and still ongoing journey, and learn the story of modern China’s search for wealth and power.

Description: Almost four hundred years of slavery and racial discrimination have taken a toll on the black family. Despite this, the family demonstrated a remarkable resilience as it negotiated the pernicious demands of both slavery and freedom. Today, however, the number of black millionaires grows rapidly, yet poverty in the black community expands exponentially. The widening gap between rich and poor is, however, only one of the many challenges facing black families struggling to come to terms with inter-racial and same-sex marriages, teenage pregnancy, as well as disparities in health, educational, and mass incarceration. The course readings and assignments will examine these impediments and evaluate the claim of some of our leading scholars that “the very future of the black family in America is at risk."

Students will read a sequence of exemplary works in each world — works that will acquaint them with the rudiments of each sphere, the problems under investigation and some of the solutions offered.

Description: This course is an introduction to the study of political science and comparative politics. It focuses on how citizens may be able to control public policies in different modern democracies. The course begins by applying some of these ideas briefly to the American political system. It then turns explicitly to the politics of contemporary Britain, Russia and Germany, examining the political culture, the basic institutional arrangements, the party system, the voters' choices, and the policymaking system in each country. These systems will be compared to each other, to the United States and, occasionally, to other democracies. This course is recommended for those thinking about a major, minor, or cluster in political science, or international relations, and others who are simply interested in learning more about the politics of democracies.

Description: Why are some countries rich and well-developed while other countries remain underdeveloped and poor? What role do political institutions, both domestic and outward-oriented, play in economic development? In this course we examine classic and contemporary answers to these questions, and consider evidence for competing explanations. We start with Adam Smith, and move through theories of dependency, import substitution, and export-based development. We conclude with contemporary theories on the connection between economic development and political institutions. We explore national economies from all continents, with special emphasis on countries outside the North Atlantic that have grown and developed, to varying extents, since World War II. (This course was formerly titled "States and Markets.")

Description: An examination of international environmental law and policy with a special focus on efforts to address climate change, including efforts to forge an international climate change agreement at the 2015 United Nations Paris Climate Change Conference. This course serves as a companion to PSC 246, but PSC 246 is not a prerequisite. The goal of this course is to provide a foundational understanding of this rapidly developing, controversial field. Topics include consideration of the scientific, political, and economic drivers of international environmental law; the variety of tools (e.g., treaties, agreements, "soft law," voluntary incentive programs and market based approaches); and examples of how some international environmental issues have been addressed to date. Finally, we will examine the results of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference - are we any closer to a "grand climate solution"? This course will be taught through lectures, discussion, several concise papers, and a group project.

Description: The debate on the role of the state versus that of the free market in the socioeconomic process is as old as the history of political economy. We discuss what economists, political scientists, & economic historians characterize as the Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus or the Asian model. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of some notable thinkers — Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, & Friedrich von Hayek. The greater part of the course deals with selected historical cases across the globe. The discussions are informed by a political economy conceptual framework, which helps to explain the politics and economics of state policy and the long-run historical processes that created the political & economic conditions. Students’ performance is based on three short essays (four typed pages each) presented to the class for discussion and thereafter revised for grading. No mid-term & final examinations.

Description: For centuries women in Italy have represented a force capable of moving Popes to entire populations – in fact, it is argued that women maintain a stronghold on most everything Italian. Through a series of readings, films, musical tracks, artistic and iconic images as well as bio-pics and Skype interviews with young and not-so-young Italian women, the course, which will be run in a seminar fashion, will focus on the stories of women in Italy from the past and the present. Through class discussion, we will build a mosaic working towards the image of women in Italy today. In doing so, we hope to reach a fuller understanding of Italy and its present day culture.

Description: In February 2011, the website Jewcy published a list of the 50 most essential works of Jewish fiction of the last 100 years. The featured books come from many different languages, cultures, and time periods and are written in a myriad of literary styles. Although few would argue with the names on the list (Kafka, Bellow, Singer), the diversity of the authors involved raises the question: what makes Jewish literature Jewish? This course will attempt to answer that question by looking at an international group of writers (some of whom identify as Jewish and some of whom do not) who often challenge their (religious and cultural) upbringing as well as the dominant politics of the countries in which they live. The authors we will read include: Franz Kafka, Jakov Lind, Bruno Schulz, Edmund Jabès, Georges Perec and Clarice Lispector.

We will examine how one’s social identity is constructed, which linguistic cues are used consciously to denote different social identities, and how most linguistic cues delineating social groupings are below conscious awareness. This course will discuss topics on prescriptive and descriptive perspectives of language, standardization, dialects, accents, pidgins and creoles, social stratification, and social, racial and linguistic profiling.

Description: The course examines the use advertisers make of language in selling their products and how it affects our perceptions of the product and ourselves. The emphasis is on learning about linguistic practice. The course will appeal to those who are curious about the central role language plays in the art of persuasion presented as advertising. The course touches upon the structure of language only insofar as it is relevant for understanding advertising as a form of social action. The acquired linguistic tools will help us to understand how commercial messages achieve their effect, regardless of their origins: business, culture or grass roots movements.

Prerequisites: Completion of the Primary Writing Requirement.
Description: Drawing on work in linguistics and rhetorical grammar (e.g., Halliday, Biber, Kolln, Hyland), this course investigates the sentence—its structure, its potential, and its limits in creating meaning. Students will learn about the form and function of “the sentence” and its parts, develop the ability to see patterns and possibilities within and across sentences, and create and analyze sentences of wildly different shapes. Assignments will regularly involve meaningful play with sentences. Through a final project, students will investigate some aspect of the sentence in extended discourse or discuss how knowledge of the sentence might be meaningfully integrated into a writing curriculum. This course is ideal for those interested in writing, writing education, or editing. Background in linguistics or grammar is not necessary. Open to undergraduates and graduate students.

This term we will be focusing on the phonological and sociolinguistic aspects of sound change. We will begin with foundational papers on the topic of sound change from both a historical and synchronic perspective. Students will learn about linguistic variation and ongoing change locally in the Inland North dialect area through the analysis of their own interview data. Past and recent studies of the Inland North will provide a framework for learning about the linguistic and social motivations of sound change.

This course covers three general areas: (1) How meaning carried by linguistic elements (such as sentences) interacts with meaning that arises from inferences about speakers’ intentions; (2) Ways of characterizing meaning, especially with respect to linguistic elements not easily handled in traditional semantic (i.e., truth-conditional) terms; (3) The role of context in determining meaning. Topics to be discussed include the relation between semantics and pragmatics, representations of context, truth-conditional and other types of meaning, presupposition; implicature and Grice’s Cooperative Principle

Description: This course is intended to provide participants with an overview of research in an area of phonetics and phonology. Issues vary from term to term but may cover areas in segmental, metrical and intonational phonology and the phonology/phonetics interface. This term we will be focusing on the phonological and sociolinguistic aspects of sound change. We will begin with foundational papers on the topic of sound change from both a historical and synchronic perspective. Students will learn about linguistic variation and ongoing change locally in the Inland North dialect area through the analysis of their own interview data. Past and recent studies of the Inland North will provide a framework for learning about the linguistic and social motivations of sound change.

Description: Within theoretical linguistics, pragmatics is (broadly speaking) the study of how language users convey meaning. This course covers three general areas: (1) How meaning carried by linguistic elements (such as sentences) interacts with meaning that arises from inferences about speakers’ intentions; (2) Ways of characterizing meaning, especially with respect to linguistic elements not easily handled in traditional semantic (i.e., truth-conditional) terms; (3) The role of context in determining meaning. Topics to be discussed include the relation between semantics and pragmatics, representations of context, truth-conditional and other types of meaning, presupposition; implicature and Grice’s Cooperative Principle

Description: In the field methods course, students will learn how to organize a fieldwork project by working with a native speaker: from systematically preparing elicitation sessions and organizing their data to learning how to write up short sketches of their findings. In contrast to the senior seminar, this course is designed for two terms, continuing in the fall term for those who are interested. Besides elicitation through word lists and questionnaires, it will allow more time for gathering natural texts (stories, dialogues, experimental data) and their annotation.

Description: In February 2011, the website Jewcy published a list of the 50 most essential works of Jewish fiction of the last 100 years. The featured books come from many different languages, cultures, and time periods and are written in a myriad of literary styles. Although few would argue with the names on the list (Kafka, Bellow, Singer), the diversity of the authors involved raises the question: what makes Jewish literature Jewish? This course will attempt to answer that question by looking at an international group of writers (some of whom identify as Jewish and some of whom do not) who often challenge their (religious and cultural) upbringing as well as the dominant politics of the countries in which they live. The authors we will read include: Franz Kafka, Jakov Lind, Bruno Schulz, Edmund Jabès, Georges Perec and Clarice Lispector.

Description: Viscoelastic materials have the capacity to both store and dissipate energy. As a result, properly describing their mechanical behavior lies outside the scope of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This course will develop constitutive relations and strategies for solving boundary value problems in linear viscoelastic materials. In addition, the closely-related biphasic theory for fluid-filled porous solids will be introduced. An emphasis will be placed on applications to cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, blood vessels, and other biological tissues. Advanced topics including non-linear viscoelasticity, composite viscoelasticity and physical mechanisms of viscoelasticity will be surveyed.

Description: Up until now CMOS scaling has given us a remarkable ride with little concern for fundamental limits. It has scaled multiple generations in feature size and in speed while keeping the same power densities. However,CMOS finally encounters fundamental limits. The course is intended for students interested in research frontiers of future electronics technologies. The course begins with introduction to the basic physics of magnetism and of quantum mechanical spin. Then it covers aspects of spin transport with emphasis on spin-diffusion in semiconductors. The second part of the course is comprised of student and lecturer presentations of selected spintronics topics which may include: spin transistors, magnetic random access memories, spin-based logic paradigms, spin-based lasers and light emitting diodes, magnetic semiconductors, spin-torque devices for memory applications and the spin Hall effect.

Description: This course will focus on Jazz music and musicians in the latter half of the 20th century (ca. 1955-2000). We will investigate the relationship of Jazz to the following topics: new musical styles, other art forms, changes in American society, technological developments, and the evolution of recording, broadcast, and news media. In doing so, we will consider not only musicians who first emerged as leaders during this period (Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, John Scofield), but also those whose careers began earlier (Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Gil Evans) and continued into the 1950s and beyond. We will also examine how repertoire from previous historical periods came to be viewed by subsequent generations. The instructional format includes lectures and discussion along with in-class viewings/listenings of recorded performances. This course is designed for students with little to no musical training.

Description: History of sampling and musical appropriation in western music from cantus firmi through borrowed themes and melodies in classical music, covering use of borrowed and repurposed recordings 20th early 21st century. Attention to the roots of sampling and recording manipulation in musique concréte and early electronic music, early tape loop experiments by Stockhausen and Steve Reich, the flowering of its use in hip hop and electronic music since the early 80s. Students learn the technical processes artists employed and specific tools and gear used–in particular the samplers and, eventually, software utilized, and about the practicum that gradually began to form . In addition, we will explore larger ideas of recontextualization and appropriation that naturally arise in any discussion of the practice of sampling, the social implications of various types of cultural appropriation, the frequent legal issues that have arisen around the practice, and the ambiguous and sometimes tenuous idea of “ownership”.

The powerful, multi-part relationships established by this trio of drums provide a rhythmic foundation for the ensemble, enabling djembe players to develop technique in executing both accompaniment and solo parts. Drawing upon his experience as a soloist with the internationally acclaimed groups Les Percussions de Guinée and Les Ballets Africains, Fana engages ensemble players with a wide repertory of music from various regions of Guinea, including the rhythms of the Susu, Malinke, and Baga language groups.

Description: In this class we will explore system engineering via the ISO9000 product development process and will illustrate how to use this process to develop both products and research systems that meet necessary specifications. The first eight weeks emphasize system integration including the development of the product development plans, partitioning of a system into subsystems, quantitative analysis of system performance and the role of prototypes. The second half of the semester emphasizes the planning needed to take systems to manufacture. During the course the students will prepare a product development plan on a project that was selected during TEM 440 Screening Technical Opportunities. The course is intended to be interactive. A portion of the classes will be dedicated to "brain-storming" solutions to technical problems and formal design reviews where the students will review the project plans of other students.

Everywhere in modern technology (smart phones, tablets, displays, lighting, cinema, printers, etc.) is the need for a basic understanding of how we measure, identify, communicate, specify, and render color from one device to another. This course addresses color order systems, color spaces, color measurement, color difference, additive and subtractive color, and rendering of color images. The student will learn about color matching, lighting conditions, metamerism, and color constancy. At the semester’s end, each student will have compiled a Color Toolbox with useful functions to derive different necessary color values within MatLab.

Description: Dynamic considerations are becoming increasingly important in the study of such political processes as legislative policy making, the impact of the political cycle on macroeconomic performance, the stability of international systems, the conduct of war, and regime change. The course develops the theory of dynamic models in decision and game theoretic environments, develops numerical methods for the computation of these models, and culminates with a thorough treatment of statistical estimation of dynamic models. The goal of the course is to equip graduate students with analytical, numerical, and statistical tools that can be used in their future research on applied topics, and specific applications will be considered at some length. Some familiarity with a programming language (such as Matlab or R) is a plus, but the dedicated student should be able to acquire basic programming skills needed for the course.

Description: This course is an introduction to philosophy as a method of inquiry into the most abstract and fundamental questions. By investigating a range of central philosophical problems, focusing throughout on the arguments used to motivate different proposed solutions, students will work toward improving their ability to develop their own theories and arguments, while gaining an overview of some of the most important works of philosophy. Questions we will examine in this course include: Do we have good evidence that God exists, and could belief in God be rational even if we don’t? Are our beliefs about the outside world and the future justified? Do we have free will? Is morality anything more than a cultural construct, and if so, what determines the rightness or wrongness of our actions?

Is it okay to destroy embryos for stem cell research? Can abortion sometimes be justified? How? Is active euthanasia ever permissible? Is capital punishment justifiable in principle? In practice? How far does our moral duty to aid distant strangers extend? What sorts of political and socioeconomic principles are morally justifiable? Do animals have moral rights? How should we understand the meaning and value of life and death? We will also explore related general questions: Is it always possible for a good enough end to justify bad means? What is the relation, if any, between morality and religion? Are there objective facts about right or wrong, or is morality ultimately subjective or relative to cultures or times? Are there situations in which every available action is wrong?

By examining the replicability crisis in medicine and other fields, we will seek to understand the tools that scientists use to design experiments and evaluate data, asking whether these tools are flawed and whether they should be replaced. By examining incredible theories in contemporary physics, we will consider whether we ought to believe in the unobservable entities postulated by our best scientific theories. Lastly, we will investigate the role that values play in science by examining several ethically controversial experiments.

Description: This is a contemporary introduction to the philosophy of science. We will discuss what science is and how it works via in-depth investigations of several controversial issues in science today. By examining legal decisions regarding the teaching of intelligent design in schools, we will consider what, if anything, distinguishes science from other ways of understanding the world. By examining the replicability crisis in medicine and other fields, we will seek to understand the tools that scientists use to design experiments and evaluate data, asking whether these tools are flawed and whether they should be replaced. By examining incredible theories in contemporary physics, we will consider whether we ought to believe in the unobservable entities postulated by our best scientific theories. Lastly, we will investigate the role that values play in science by examining several ethically controversial experiments.

They will acquire practical skills in the routine use of radiation detectors, monitors, and electronics, and develop the ability to assess radiation threats and prospects of their abatement. The four in-depth ANSEL experiments are designed to help recreate a type of well-rounded, competent experimental nuclear scientist who is able to analyze an experimental problem, to select, design, and set up appropriate nuclear instrumentation, and to conduct required measurements. The laboratory sessions will meet twice a week for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The students are expected to write detailed lab reports on their work, and give a presentation on of their experiments at the end of the semester. In addition to the laboratory component of ANSEL students will attend a weekly lecture (1 hour and 15 minutes per week).

Description: Up until now CMOS scaling has given us a remarkable ride with little concern for fundamental limits. It has scaled multiple generations in feature size and in speed while keeping the same power densities. However,CMOS finally encounters fundamental limits. The course is intended for students interested in research frontiers of future electronics technologies. The course begins with introduction to the basic physics of magnetism and of quantum mechanical spin. Then it covers aspects of spin transport with emphasis on spin-diffusion in semiconductors. The second part of the course is comprised of student and lecturer presentations of selected spintronics topics which may include: spin transistors, magnetic random access memories, spin-based logic paradigms, spin-based lasers and light emitting diodes, magnetic semiconductors, spin-torque devices for memory applications and the spin Hall effect.

Description: This course is an introduction to the study of political science and comparative politics. It focuses on how citizens may be able to control public policies in different modern democracies. The course begins by applying some of these ideas briefly to the American political system. It then turns explicitly to the politics of contemporary Britain, Russia and Germany, examining the political culture, the basic institutional arrangements, the party system, the voters' choices, and the policymaking system in each country. These systems will be compared to each other, to the United States and, occasionally, to other democracies. This course is recommended for those thinking about a major, minor, or cluster in political science, or international relations, and others who are simply interested in learning more about the politics of democracies.

The course introduces students to the questions, concepts, and analytical approaches of political scientists. This version of the course does so through a series of projects in which students investigate how political scientists have engaged with recently-prominent issues in politics and policy. The specific issues vary from one semester to another, but students in all sessions learn basic concepts and tools that underlie all research in political science.

Description: Through reading and critiquing political science research in American politics, comparative politics, and international relations, students learn how to select a research question, formulate testable hypotheses, find and evaluate relevant literature, locate or collect data that addresses their research question, analyze the data, and write a research report. The primary task for the semester is to complete a research paper on a topic the student chooses jointly with the instructor. Students work on individual or joint projects. The course is not a prerequisite for writing a senior honors thesis, though it is good preparation for doing so. With that in mind, near the end of the semester, juniors who are interested in doing an honors project during the senior year will be assisted in their efforts to identify a faculty member with whom they can work and in formulating a plan to carry out the thesis during the ensuing year.

We consider how our election rules, such as the presidential Electoral College and the single member plurality elections used in congressional elections, affect the choices candidates make to win office. And we identify how these rules advantage or disadvantage various types of candidates. Some issues, such as party polarization and campaign finance reform are generally in the news and of thus of continuing interest. But new issues will arise and we will discuss these as they come up over the course of the semester.

Description: Why are some countries rich and well-developed while other countries remain underdeveloped and poor? What role do political institutions, both domestic and outward-oriented, play in economic development? In this course we examine classic and contemporary answers to these questions, and consider evidence for competing explanations. We start with Adam Smith, and move through theories of dependency, import substitution, and export-based development. We conclude with contemporary theories on the connection between economic development and political institutions. We explore national economies from all continents, with special emphasis on countries outside the North Atlantic that have grown and developed, to varying extents, since World War II. (This course was formerly titled "States and Markets.")

Description: An examination of international environmental law and policy with a special focus on efforts to address climate change, including efforts to forge an international climate change agreement at the 2015 United Nations Paris Climate Change Conference. This course serves as a companion to PSC 246, but PSC 246 is not a prerequisite. The goal of this course is to provide a foundational understanding of this rapidly developing, controversial field. Topics include consideration of the scientific, political, and economic drivers of international environmental law; the variety of tools (e.g., treaties, agreements, "soft law," voluntary incentive programs and market based approaches); and examples of how some international environmental issues have been addressed to date. Finally, we will examine the results of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference - are we any closer to a "grand climate solution"? This course will be taught through lectures, discussion, several concise papers, and a group project.

Description: Game theory, despite its frivolous-sounding name, gives us a unified approach to understanding social phenomena. It helps us understand not just the way people play games in the usual sense, like tic-tac-toe, chess or poker, but the way they behave in complex social situations as well. Examples of situations to which we will apply the theory include (but are not limited to): arms races, provision of public goods, competition between firms, electoral campaigns, voting, auctions, and bargaining. While there are no formal prerequisites, aptitude for logical or mathematical reasoning is desirable.

Description: The debate on the role of the state versus that of the free market in the socioeconomic process is as old as the history of political economy. We discuss what economists, political scientists, & economic historians characterize as the Washington consensus versus the Beijing consensus or the Asian model. This is followed by a discussion of the contributions of some notable thinkers — Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, John Maynard Keynes, & Friedrich von Hayek. The greater part of the course deals with selected historical cases across the globe. The discussions are informed by a political economy conceptual framework, which helps to explain the politics and economics of state policy and the long-run historical processes that created the political & economic conditions. Students’ performance is based on three short essays (four typed pages each) presented to the class for discussion and thereafter revised for grading. No mid-term & final examinations.

Description: The Constitution helps define, as it perhaps reflects, American society. In this scheme, religion has a special role. It, arguably uniquely, is given both Constitutional protection (free exercise) as well as Constitutional limitation (no establishment). Religion's placement in the Bill of Rights (as a part of the First Amendment) suggests its importance (both in protection and in limitation) to the founders, and religion's role in society today remains important and controversial. This course examines the historical forces that led to the adoption of the religion clauses of the First Amendment, the subsequent development of those clauses (importantly through the close reading of key Supreme Court opinions), and religion's role in modern American society.

Description: This course offers a unique opportunity for students to engage critically with justice in courthouses in local communities. Students will participate in hands-on experiential work in a selected area of focus at the Monroe County Courthouse in Rochester. Areas of focus to choose from include adult criminal justice, juvenile justice, treatment courts, domestic violence court, court-community partnerships, or equity disparities in the court. Weekly class meetings include university faculty and Judge Craig Doran, Chief Supervising Judge of all courts in the region, who share their perspectives, research, and experience on the matters addressed by students at the courthouse. This provides students with immediate immersion in both the theoretical and practical applications of justice in society. This course requires students spend 8 hours per week at the Monroe County Courts at the Hall of Justice in Rochester. These times are to be arranged by the student, Judge Craig Doran, and the court site supervisor.

Description: In this course, we will examine the linear regression model and its variants. The course has two goals: (1) to provide students with the statistical theory of the linear model, and (2) to provide students with skills for analyzing data. The linear model is a natural starting point for understanding regression models in general, inferences based on them, and problems with our inferences due to data issues or to model misspecification. The model's relative tractability has made it an attractive tool for political scientists, resulting in volumes of research using the methods studied here. Familiarity with the linear model is now essentially required if one wants to be a consumer or producer of modern political science research.

Description: This course provides general conceptual background and an introduction to some major works in the comparative field and subfields. Comparative politics is a field that attempts to develop and test theories that can be used to explain political events and patterns across and within political systems, especially nation-states. Topics include democracy, dictatorship and development; revolutions and violence; institutions and political economy; parties, elections and voting; representation and accountability; ethnicity; culture and social movements. It will also introduce various methodological approaches and issues in the comparative field, including research design and case selection. The reading load is heavy and students are expected to make several presentations and lead discussion of readings, as well as to take two exams. This course provides general conceptual background and an introduction to some major works in the comparative field and subfields.

Techniques to be covered include instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, natural experiments, field experiments, difference in difference and matching. Students will be asked to read and critique recent work from comparative politics and American politics that use these techniques, with an emphasis on applications to substantive questions rather than methodological details. Students will be asked to produce multiple research proposals that use these techniques, and present them in class. Students who take both PSC 562 and 563 may use either, but not both, to satisfy the course requirements for the Comparative Politics field.

Description: This course examines the literature on conflict that has developed in the last decade. We will examine recent formal literature as well as the latest substantive (non-formal) literature on conflict. The course will help graduate students identify the broad direction of international conflict studies and will also permit graduate students to pursue topics or ideas of their own interest. To that end, we set aside two classes for "model building sessions" where students can explore approaches to formalize some of the ideas in the substantive literature, or explore extensions of the current formal literature. Students should have taken or be concurrently taking PSC 584 or have an equivalent knowledge of complete and incomplete information game theory.

Description: Dynamic considerations are becoming increasingly important in the study of such political processes as legislative policy making, the impact of the political cycle on macroeconomic performance, the stability of international systems, the conduct of war, and regime change. The course develops the theory of dynamic models in decision and game theoretic environments, develops numerical methods for the computation of these models, and culminates with a thorough treatment of statistical estimation of dynamic models. The goal of the course is to equip graduate students with analytical, numerical, and statistical tools that can be used in their future research on applied topics, and specific applications will be considered at some length. Some familiarity with a programming language (such as Matlab or R) is a plus, but the dedicated student should be able to acquire basic programming skills needed for the course.

We will study the New Testament and the early Jesus movement within the wider context of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world. Issues such as the development of the canon, the divisions with the Jesus Movement between Jews and Gentiles, the different understandings of the figure of Jesus, the conflicts which shaped the institutional development of the early church, and the conflict between Rome and the early church will receive particular attention and analysis. We will approach the texts of the New Testament as we would any other texts in antiquity, namely from an historical perspective. Students will be exposed to the traditional tools of biblical scholarship. No previous knowledge of the New Testament or of early Christianity is assumed.

Description: Homer, Virgil, and Ovid. The tragedy and comedy of the Greeks: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Aristophanes. Plato and Aristotle, the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The two great traditions studied in this course -- classical and scriptural -- have been pondered by generations of writers and artists for thousands of years. A great deal of western literary history is the story of rewriting and adapting the core texts of these traditions; it has been said that the European philosophical tradition is “a series of footnotes to Plato.” While doing justice to any one of these fascinating authors in a single semester would be a challenge, the goal of this class is to read and discuss as much of the classical and scriptural tradition as we can, giving you a solid foundation in the key stories and ideas that have generated so much thought, debate, and human creativity over the past two millennia. Freshmen welcome!

We use case studies to examine how religion, politics and culture interact to create opportunities for positive or negative engagement across religious traditions. We study the etiquette of interreligious engagement in multi-religious contexts building skills for global citizenship. Students will be assigned to a community partner organization (e.g. Gandhi Institute, Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue) for hands-on interfaith projects and will attend and observe religious rituals in three world religious traditions.

Students will be required to write three essays, with subjects selected from each of the three course units.

In this course, we examine the multiple and various early Christian debates and practices relating to the body focusing in particular on issues related to physical suffering, death, sexuality, identity, and asceticism. Topics include: early Christian debates over the nature of the body and its relationship to personal identity and the nature of the self; conflicting ideas about the nature of Jesus’ incarnated, crucified, and resurrected body; gender, sexuality, and the bodies of men and women; Christian valorization of physical suffering and the bodies of the ill; the cult of the martyrs and the cult of the relics; the rise of asceticism and the bodies of saints.

Description: In the 15th century the western or Roman Catholic Church was in a state of crisis. Papal governance was in question, there were widespread abuses of power, and calls for reform were being articulated throughout Christendom. In 1517 Martin Luther unleashed an unstoppable movement that would lead to the division of western Christianity into two opposing forces – Protestant and Catholic. Others followed in this wake. This course will examine how western Christianity has evolved from the 16th century to the present by using primary sources that help us understand the evolution of Christian thought from the Reformation to the present. Short, on-going reflection papers, along with class participation, are required.

Description: Since the 1960s religious scholars, especially in developing countries, have attempted to re-think and re-express their beliefs in ways that can lead to greater social justice for marginalized people. This largely Christian movement set in a motion a theological and social phenomenon known as liberation theology. In this work we will examine the ideas and actions behind this movement, with particular reference to race, class, and gender. Writing and discussion are integral parts of the course.

Description: Hindu traditions highlight the importance of charismatic authority and various attainments as sources for understanding actions and gaining insight into the natural world and the human condition. In their attempt to connect the somatic experience of embodiment with the possibilities of the mind and even transcendental goals, Hindus describe sages, charismatics, teachers, and other concepts of "yogin" and "guru" as masterful examples of human possibilities. We'll explore these characters and the various ways Hindus create the concept of the "powerful being", the human capable of extraordinary feats and accomplishments. We'll look at sages and polymaths, poets and storytellers, ascetics and householders, all understood to be healers and discerning contemplatives. We'll focus on primary sources in translation from Sanskrit, Tamil, and other Indian languages that tell us about these powerful beings, visible and invisible, and how we might interact with them.

Description: From the assassination of Alexander II in 1881 to the rise of the Soviet Union in 1925, Russia was the scene of political and cultural upheaval. The literature of this period is especially rich, with great poetic talents (Blok, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky) and blockbuster novels (Sologub’s Petty Demon and Bely’s Petersburg), but all the arts participated. In addition to literature, this course will examine developments in music (Stravinsky, Scriabin), drama (the Moscow Art Theatre), painting (Vrubel, Roerich, Goncharova, Malevich), and dance (the Ballet Russe). No longer simply adapting foreign forms, Russian culture was at the forefront of the European avant-garde. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 began to bring this cultural renaissance to an end, and rising Soviet Power sent its remaining creative spirits underground or abroad, but its influence and memory in Russian and world culture has lasted till this day.

Description: From the assassination of Alexander II in 1881 to the rise of the Soviet Union in 1925, Russia was the scene of political and cultural upheaval. The literature of this period is especially rich, with great poetic talents (Blok, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky) and blockbuster novels (Sologub’s Petty Demon and Bely’s Petersburg), but all the arts participated. In addition to literature, this course will examine developments in music (Stravinsky, Scriabin), drama (the Moscow Art Theatre), painting (Vrubel, Roerich, Goncharova, Malevich), and dance (the Ballet Russe). No longer simply adapting foreign forms, Russian culture was at the forefront of the European avant-garde. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 began to bring this cultural renaissance to an end, and rising Soviet Power sent its remaining creative spirits underground or abroad, but its influence and memory in Russian and world culture has lasted till this day.

While some projects may include traditional media such as pencils and paper, others may invite nontraditional media such as hair, text, earth and sound. Presentations and discussions will address historical and theoretical approaches to art as a way of supporting expansive studio practice. Practice, critique, readings, and discussion combine to place emphasis on the visual investigation necessary to create educated and challenging art. Not open to seniors.

Description: Performance art is one of the most exciting & misrepresented forms of artistic expression in contemporary art. It intentionally defies any precise definition, giving artists the authority to combine traditional & non-traditional aspects of painting, drawing, photography, literature, physics, fibers, video, law, computer graphics, sound, poetry, found objects, architecture, costume design & sculpture. Performance art often blurs the boundaries between art & life & often encourages us to reconsider our beliefs regarding spirituality, identity, body, space, politics, & the definition of art itself. In this studio art class, we will look at the most fascinating performance artists from the 1960s to the present while designing our own "live sculptures" & "time-based art." No previous knowledge of performance art is necessary. This course may be taken more than once for advanced-level credit. Permission of instructor required. Studio art supplies fee: $50.

Description: Dramatic and decisive political, social, and cultural changes in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century have been reflected in onstage experimentation and innovation by a variety of new Spanish playwrights.

Description: Programming is the automation of information processing. Program analysis and transformation is the automation of programming itself---how much a program can understand and improve other programs. Because of the diversity and complexity of computer hardware, programmers increasingly depend on automation in compilers and other tools to deliver efficient and reliable software. This course combines fundamental principles and (hands-on) practical applications. Specific topics include data flow and dependence theories; static and dynamic program transformation including parallelization; memory and cache management; type checking and program verification; and performance analysis and modeling. The knowledge and practice will help students to become experts in software performance and correctness. Students taking the graduate level will have additional course requirements and a more difficult project.

Constructed worlds can be the pure fantasy of Tolkien’s Middle-earth or re-imaginings of historical events such as in Maus, a graphic novel retelling of the Holocaust. How are these worlds connected to ours? New technologies let us experience created worlds more widely and deeply than before. Through discussion, group work, and writing, we will analyze how these worlds challenge the boundaries of our culture, society, even our own identities. What do the worlds we imagine reveal about who we are or who we want to be? We will engage with various media that create these worlds, including literature, film, graphic novels, and role-playing games and communities. We will explore the worlds of Pan’s Labyrinth, Neil Gaiman, and Philip K. Dick, among others. Using peer review, self-assessment, drafting, and revision, we will write three shorter essays and a final 8-10 page argumentative research paper. Warning: Class contains graphic content.

Description: The American Civil War has gone down in history as the war that pitted North against South, Union against Confederacy, and even brother against brother. Spies and secret service workers, however, transgressed these boundaries every day, revealing their true allegiances through their covert actions. How did these brave men and women use writing and communication to save lives, affect the course of battles, and ultimately have an impact on the outcome of the war? In studying their espionage efforts and hidden communication, we will also engage in conversations about the power of meaning-making and communication in our own lives. Just as spies needed to clearly and effectively communicate their messages, so too will we aim for these goals in our own writing. In this course, students will learn critical skills of writing and revision. They will take part in a peer review process, perform self-assessments, and write several small papers. The course will culminate in an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: The last several years have brought to the fore a range of books relating to what has been termed “the god debate”. At stake are questions that are vigorously debated. What is the role of religion in personal and social life? Is it destructive or constructive? Is it necessary? Or has it become irrelevant in the age of science? Equally at stake are questions relating to the definition of key concepts. What is faith? What is reason? Are they related? What part should each play in private and public life? Interestingly, these questions have been debated in America for over three centuries, by writers such as Paine, Jefferson, Emerson, and James. In this course, we shall read some of their works as a means to explore the different sides of this debate. In the process, students shall be introduced to the various aspects of academic writing. Students will write several short essays during the semester as well as a final paper of 8-10 pages, and classes will consist of peer-reviews, self-assessments, and revisions.

Description: David Jay Gabriel, executive director of the New York City Comic Book Museum, has identified comic books as one of five “pure” American art forms alongside jazz, musical comedy, the mystery novel, and the banjo. Gabriel is just the latest to make such a claim. What about comic books makes them American? As the nation has changed, have comics changed in response? Do film and video game adaptations of comic titles carry the same sense of American heritage as their source material? In this course, we will explore these questions by analyzing the various periods of comic history, including super hero comics and the emergent digital age. These issues will be the focus of our work with writing, and we will utilize class discussion, pre-writing, peer review, self-assessment and the revision process to produce several well-organized essays. Our work will culminate in an 8-10 page research paper, which will demonstrate your ability to engage in a critical conversation connected to our course topic.

Description: Stories with a strong magical element are commonly labeled as fantasy, made for entertainment but not for serious thought. Why do we disregard genre literature, and particularly magic-centric lit, so easily? In this course, we will see how magic helps us to question or explain social conventions within narratives. Through discussion and writing, we will investigate how magic divides the normal from the abnormal and the serious from the silly. What kinds of events, people, or stories do we label as magical? And why use magic to accentuate or eliminate societal differences? Course materials may include Neil Gaiman’s Ocean at the End of the Lane, fairy tales, Pan’s Labyrinth, real-world reactions to magic, and criticism from Mikhail Bakhtin and Bruno Bettelheim. As we see how magic rewrites opinions on the world around us, we will use peer review, self-assessment, and revision to develop three shorter papers and an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Within the past decade the term emerging adulthood has been used in psychology to describe life between the ages of 18-29 when individuals explore various possibilities, “basking in adult freedoms, unshackled by adult responsibilities”. Often portrayed as a period of inconsistency, this phase seems to defer adulthood as life expectations become increasingly flexible. But, how does this new coming of age understanding impact those within this age group? Moreover, to what extent is this sense of emergence experienced across cultures? As academic writing is an act of inquiry, it will be our primary method of investigating these and other questions throughout the semester. To further critical thinking on this topic, films such as Step Brothers and books such as The Millennial Generation will be examined. Students will hone rhetorical skills through individual and small-group assignments, along with self-assessment and peer review exercises to support the completion of an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Three days after its release, Rockstar Games’s Grand Theft Auto V had earned more than $1 billion, despite (or maybe because) pundits had condemned it as frivolous at best and dangerous at worst. This criticism is not new. Rather, GTA is the most recent catalyst for debates that started with Space Invaders and Pac Man. In this course, we’ll use writing, including peer review, self-assessment, and one 8-10 page argumentative research paper, to explore some of the major debates about video games. How do games affect our cognitive and emotional faculties? Why do game companies target young, white men even though many gamers are women and minorities? How have games adapted narrative devices from older media like comic books and movies? By engaging such “texts” as Oregon Trail, World of Warcraft, and The Sims, blogs by Roger Ebert, and scholarly articles by Lev Manovich, we’ll analyze the role of video games in contemporary culture in order to develop writing skills that will ensure success throughout college.

Description: In 2011, health care spending consumed nearly 18 percent of America’s Gross Domestic Product. We as a society must make choices about spending, balancing the desire to achieve the best possible health for everyone with the reality of limited resources. Underlying these decisions are ethical and practical concerns, and any policy requires answers to many questions. For instance, which diseases get the most attention? Are contagious diseases in a different class from heart disease and cancer? When may we infringe on someone’s rights in the name of better health? We will explore these issues using a mix of critical reading, discussion, and writing, drawing from sources that look at the sociological, psychological, linguistic, artistic, economic, ethical, and medical aspects of these questions. Through writing three short papers and a 8-10 page final research paper, you will explore developing a writing process incorporating informal writing, peer feedback, revision, and self-assessment.

Description: This course will involve critically assessing and writing about the nature and function of hypothetical realities, which for the sake of a working definition we may define as visions of the world that are fictitious but nonetheless deliberately plausible and in most respects consistent with known reality. Particular subjects will range from dystopian writings like Samuel Butler’s novel Erewhon (1872) to polemical writings on the ethics of allowing children to believe in Santa. In this course we will learn to address a myriad of culturally pertinent questions: How do hypothetical realities help us address our own lived experience? How effective are they at interrogating contemporary culture? Are there dangers to being too invested in a certain hypothetical reality, as in the case of doomsday theories? Assignments will include both informal responses and formal papers, culminating with an argumentative research paper. Course expectations involve commitment to self-assessment, revision and helpful peer feedback.

Description: Despite the seeming universality of the subject, notions of the “child” as we know it emerged in the 18th century. We will begin by looking at historical and psychological depictions of childhood; this will be followed by a variety of disciplines—from anthropology to contemporary cultural studies. The course will highlight how notions of the child, even in their most clichéd forms, present children in contradictory ways: as both “almost”- adults and an entity that is non-human. We will proceed to analyze instances of “odd” children who do not conform to adult norms—i.e., investigating the fantasy worlds that children build, their relations to animals/objects, and their gender identifications. We will explore these topics through formal and informal writing assignments that foreground writing as a process. Furthermore, we will utilize writing as a tool to explore matters of audience, context, and purpose. The course will culminate in an 8-10 page research paper that addresses class themes.

Given our ability to intervene at life’s edges, what are our responsibilities in creating, extending, and ending human life? Through philosophical readings, discussion, and writing, students will explore questions in bioethics: when does the life of a human start and what do we owe to humans in the earliest stages of development? Is embryo selection or engineering discrimination? May we choose to end our life to prevent suffering? Who gets expensive life-saving technology and who is left to die? While engaging with conversations in ethics, students extract & critique arguments from readings, discuss them critically, & develop their own argumentative writing.

In this course, we will explore music writing through articles by authors like philosopher Roland Barthes, musicologist Susan McClary, and music critic Lester Bangs. Our in-depth analyses and comparisons of these styles of writing through informal writing and discussion will provide students with the tools and resources to write about music in two short writing assignments, a research proposal, and one 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Can robots, androids, and cyborgs that act and think like humans be thought of as alive? Their prominence in literature and television as well as their human like qualities prompt audiences to question the definition of human life. Students will explore the question, “what does it mean to be human?” by analyzing the robots from Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot collection, the androids from Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and the android Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Answers to the question will allow students to engage in the research and writing processes. Ultimately, self-assessment, peer review, and revision will teach students how to develop an argument and supporting ideas about human identity and robotics. The final project will consist of an 8-10 page argumentative research paper that will critically engage with the course’s central theme.

Description: Language lets us share with others thoughts once trapped inside our own mind, but it’s also been argued to shape or constrain those thoughts. How central is language to our ideas about the mind? Does language make the human mind special? Are our minds shaped by the language we speak? How should we think about developments in AI and machine translation that have brought machines closer to using language? Do these machines have minds? How would we know? Can we learn about the mind by trying to build a mind? In exploring these questions in writing, we’ll draw from a wide variety of perspectives, from research in psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, & AI, to viewpoints from TV, movies, and literature, especially sci-fi. We’ll connect concepts from cognitive science to ideas about how to engage in written arguments that are clear and interesting to readers, working towards a research project in which you develop an argument connecting the interdisciplinary themes of the class to your own interests.

By engaging in many types of writing, we’ll investigate the allure and functions of detective fiction, from its relationship to real life to the popularity of its protagonists.

Participating in discussion, peer review, self-assessment & revision will help students explore course ideas and craft evidence-based written arguments about their findings.

Description: The “Fight for 15” campaign claims that justice requires raising the minimum wage to $15. But critics claim such an increase would hurt those it is designed to help. In this class, we will learn critical writing skills by thinking morally about money, and use academic writing to enrich our moral thinking. When are prices unfair? How ought governments spend money? When does foreign aid really improve lives? And what about that $15 minimum wage? We will address questions like these by learning from the works of contemporary ethicists, economists, and social critics (likely including Paul Krugman's “In Praise of Cheap Labor”, Matt Zwolinski's “The Ethics of Price Gouging”, and Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed), and through critical, argumentative writing. Our writing skills and judgment will be honed through class discussion and peer review, and you will develop your thinking through in-class writing assignments, essays, self-assessment, draft revision, and an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Humor and laughter play a significant role in all of our lives, yet it is difficult to pin down exactly why it is we find some things funny. In this course, we will investigate the nature of humor as it appears in a variety of forms, from New Yorker magazine cartoons to the droll humor in network TV; we’ll listen to stand-up comedians and consider the popularity of internet memes. The primary goal of this course is to develop the skills necessary to write clear and convincing prose. Through in-class discussion and informal writing we will analyze how humor functions and why we respond to it the ways we do. Students will develop strategies for academic writing by engaging in self-assessment, peer review, and revision of their work.

We will look at various approaches to understanding happiness and use critical reading, writing and discussion to think about how the philosophical and psychological projects are compatible, or not. We will use podcasts, popular media and scholarly articles as a jumping off point for entering these debates. Furthermore, we will focus on how writing principles such as audience and purpose function across disciplines by looking at how different fields have approached questions of happiness.

Through popular culture examples including children's books (eg. Richard Scarry's, What do People do all day) films (eg. Billy Elliot, Office Space, Social Network), and theoretical readings from labor history, sociology, and psychology, this class will explore the definition of work in American culture broadly as well as in individual stories. By engaging students in a constructive learning process including class discussions, critical reading, and formal and informal writing assignments this course will introduce students to academic writing. Writing assignments include short analytical essays and one 8-10 page argumentative research paper. The focus of this course is the writing process and will involve drafting, peer review, self-assessment and revision.

Description: What is happiness? We seek it, talk about it, see it all over the news, but are we all talking about the same thing? Philosophers try to understand the nature of happiness while psychologists are concerned with measuring it, but often these projects are isolated from each other. We will look at various approaches to understanding happiness and use critical reading, writing and discussion to think about how the philosophical and psychological projects are compatible, or not. We will use podcasts, popular media and scholarly articles as a jumping off point for entering these debates. Furthermore, we will focus on how writing principles such as audience and purpose function across disciplines by looking at how different fields have approached questions of happiness. Students will be expected to write several argumentative essays, which will go through a process of peer-review, revision and self-assessment, culminating in an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: In her 2012 novel, How Should a Person Be?, writer Sheila Heti asks this question to highlight the difficulty of defining human well-being in the contemporary world. What does it mean for a person to be happy and healthy? Moreover, how can we sort through the vast array of answers this question invites? By delving into texts ranging from Emerson’s “Self-Reliance” to recent clinical literature on happiness and depression, this WRT 105 course will examine human well-being in ethical, cultural-historical, and psychological terms. Students will be encouraged to think across disciplines while learning argumentative writing through multiple stages. Writing will serve as both a prompt to thinking and a means of developing attention to audience, self-assessment, peer review, and revision skills. The course will culminate in an argumentative research paper, which students design according to their personal and academic interests.

Description: In The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins says, “…I could not imagine being an atheist at any time before 1859, when Darwin’s Origin of Species was published.” Dawkins, like many, sees Darwinian evolution as a foundation of atheism. Over 150 years after Darwin’s work, the relationship between science and theism remains confusing. How should we characterize this relationship? Is a scientific worldview actually compatible with belief in God? In this class, we will look for answers to these questions by interacting with the writings of the Pope, physicist Sean Carroll, philosophers Daniel Dennett and Alvin Plantinga, biologist Steven J. Gould, and more. These authors’ ideas will serve as a basis for students to develop and articulate ideas in informal and formal papers, culminating in an 8-10 page argumentative research paper. Peer reviews, self-assessments, and revision are critical components of the course that assist in students learning to research and develop their ideas for presentation to other academics.

Description: It seems impossible to imagine a world without digital technology. Yet, the impact of technology on our lives remains an open question. How does digital media change the way we read, think, and learn? How does it affect how we communicate and relate to others? How might these changes shape academic writing and research? This course explores these questions in a range of material, including public discourse in blogs and videos, and scholarly research in communication and psychology. Through reading/viewing, discussion, and writing, students will engage ongoing critical conversations in order to discover, develop, and defend their own ideas. Formal work includes multimodal assignments, short essays, and a 10-page research paper. In producing work for this class, students will engage in a process of writing that includes peer review, self-reflection, and revision. Course grades are assessed using contract grading, which is based on student performance and a final portfolio of revised formal writing.

Description: "There is more to be learned from the unexpected questions of children than the discourses of men." If what John Locke said is true, how does our relationship to the world around us change over time? As we get older, do we lose or gain the ability to question existing frameworks of knowledge? What does it mean to "grow up," and is the process more fraught and difficult than we realize? Through writing, peer review, self-assessment, and revision, students will learn to ask the unexpected and trace their own transitions from childhood to adolescence and beyond. Course material may cover selections from children's and YA literature, such as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Lois Lowry's The Giver, the poetry of Wordsworth and Blake, coming-of-age graphic novels and films, and excerpts from works of psychology. Assignments include informal written responses, a creative project, two shorter essays, and an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Crisis and chaos can seem to work against artistic goals of mastery and organization. How do writers and filmmakers respond to this challenge? In this course, we will look at artistic representations of psychological and social crisis. For example, we will study T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Hollow Men” and Frances Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now, which uses Eliot’s poem in its depiction of the Vietnam War. We will closely analyze these texts asking questions such as: What do artists try to show through the crises they depict? How, and to what extent, are artistic representations shaped by social upheaval? Analyzing the careful choices of artists will help us consider the choices we must make as writers of our own work. Students will engage in group work, peer review, self-assessment, and revision, as they compose three formal papers and an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Science and democracy have a complicated relationship. On the one hand, science seems ideally practiced for its own sake, insulated from political pressures. On the other hand, social policy can influence, and be influenced by, scientific research programs. Adding to this complication is working out how non-scientist citizens should navigate these issues, given how specialized science has become. By discussing the relationship between democracy, science, and the role of the citizen in public reasoning, students will develop critical thinking, argumentation, and writing skills. These skills will be refined through short essays, an 8–10 page argumentative research paper, and supplemented with peer-reviews, self-assessment, and revision. Readings on democracy will include Plato’s Republic; readings on demarcating science will include K. Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery; and readings on the roles and relations of scientists and citizens in a democracy includes work by R. Dawkins, C. Sagan, and others.

Description: What do a robot, a Sylvia Plath poem, and your selfie on Instagram have in common? They are just some examples of the constructed identities we encounter every day. In an effort to interrogate the distance between constructed identities and the selves who made them, we will think about questions of authenticity, and question the 'categories' we often try to place identities within (racial, sexual, etc.). We will look at portraits, read Confessional Poets, engage with popular articles about contemporary issues of identity, and follow the complexities of artificial intelligence. In a series of short papers, we will critically engage with the methods of these constructions, and through peer review and self-assessment we will determine the effectiveness of our writing. We will culminate the semester with an 8-10 page argumentative research paper on a topic of your choice, and try making constructions of our own identities in a multi-modal project.

Description: Language lets us share with others thoughts once trapped inside our own mind, but it’s also been argued to shape or constrain those thoughts. How central is language to our ideas about the mind? Does language make the human mind special? Are our minds shaped by the language we speak? How should we think about developments in AI and machine translation that have brought machines closer to using language? Do these machines have minds? How would we know? Can we learn about the mind by trying to build a mind? In exploring these questions in writing, we’ll draw from a wide variety of perspectives, from research in psychology, linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, & AI, to viewpoints from TV, movies, and literature, especially sci-fi. We’ll connect concepts from cognitive science to ideas about how to engage in written arguments that are clear and interesting to readers, working towards a research project in which you develop an argument connecting the interdisciplinary themes of the class to your own interests.

Description: It’s hard to imagine a world without wool sweaters, barbecues, and household pets. Throughout history, humans have been interacting and coexisting with non-human animals. In recent years scholars interested in anthropology, history, and medicine have started to explore human relationships and interactions with animals. What does the obsession with “pets” in American homes say about our culture? Should doctors explore the benefits of animal therapy? Are there ethical issues at stake when thinking about animals as a food source? In this course, students will use writing as a way to evaluate and make contributions to academic conversations that focus on human and non-human animal relationships. Students will read texts, complete short writing assignments, participate in peer reviews, and use writing to consider what our relationships with animals mean and how they have changed over time. The course will culminate in an 8-10research paper focused on a topic related to human and animal relationships.

Description: Industrialism, urbanization, and globalization have complicated the concept of community. In this course, we will investigate how communities are created and threatened, asking questions such as: What are the forms that community can take? How do these forms reflect the way we see ourselves? Do we need community? These questions will be studied in literature, films, and art as students write informal and formal papers. For example, we will discuss Wordsworth’s poetry to examine industry’s impact on rural communities, Gaskell’s Cranford to analyze urbanization’s affect on small-towns, and the movies Pocahontas and The Help to study intercultural communities in a globalized society. Responding to these and other works, students will use writing to explore how historical and cultural constructs of community help us think in new ways about community and our place in it. We will develop ideas through peer review, self-assessment, and revision culminating in an 8-10 page argumentative-research paper.

Description: While last century has seen the development of various forms of machinery that have made our lives easier and more convenient, many fear that we have ceded too much control over our lives to the machines we have created. Machines have thus become symbolic of both fantasies and fears about our ability to control the world. In this class, students will analyze and write about popular narratives that address this tension. Students will read and view several fictional and nonfictional narratives about the relationship of humans and machines—including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Terminator, WALL E and others—and join in the discussion about this relationship, composing a series of informal responses, along with shorter formal papers, presentations, and visual projects that will lead up to an 8-10 page argumentative research paper. The class will emphasize the composition process, and students will be expected to participate in and contribute to class discussion on both composition and the course theme.

Description: In the past year, news outlets labeled diverse events like the Charlie Hedbo attacks in Paris, the Ferguson riots, and college campus rape as “medieval.” Clearly, we associate the term with religious fundamentalism, racism, misogyny, and violence. But were the “Dark Ages” as backwards as we assume? To what extent have modern attitudes evolved? How do medieval stereotypes influence news media and pop culture? This course will explore such questions by discussing and writing on medieval texts including Arthurian romances, Crusades tales, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales; TV shows like Game of Thrones, Merlin, and Marco Polo; and current events. We will focus on gender and race as lenses into our cultural values, testing topics like chivalry and Islamophobia. We will emphasize dialogue, self-assessment, and peer review in discovering, testing, and communicating ideas. Assignments include a series of short essays culminating in an 8–10 page argumentative research paper. Warning: This class contains graphic content.

Description: In the short story, Minority Report, Philip K. Dick creates a world in which it is possible to predict a crime before it is committed. This makes it possible to condemn a person who has not yet done wrong. Is this morally acceptable? Questions like these that come up regularly in science fiction are not wildly implausible. Researchers now are studying brain chemistry in hopes of predicting the likelihood of a person committing violent crime. As we develop our own thoughts through writing, we will review science fiction stories through various media such as film (Gattaca) and short stories (I, Robot). The writing process will allow us to assess fictional ethical dilemmas, compare them with real world science, and examine the implications of our research. We will consider alternative philosophical approaches to resolving these moral dilemmas. Peer feedback, self-assessment, and revision will be used in developing original views in writing, including an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Apprenticeship, metaphoric narrative, and family traditions are all ways of learning through participation in culture. As humans, we constantly acquire new knowledge that shapes how we perceive the world. Which cultural values influence not only what is learned, but also how skills and traditions are taught? How are learning methods different or similar across cultures? Are there universal learning norms across cultures? Students will explore answers to these questions through course readings such as Rogoff’s The Cultural Nature of Human Development and writing assignments focusing on diverse cultural perspectives from disciplines such as education, psychology, and anthropology. This course emphasizes the importance of the writing process through the use of self-assessment, peer feedback, and revision. The culmination is an 8 to10 page research paper where students will not only demonstrate the ability to develop a debatable thesis and support an argument, but also collect data and report research findings.

Description: How do we tell the difference between fact and fiction? How does our experience with moving picture technology impact how we perceive and understand reality? How does documentary film complicate and/or reinforce traditional understandings of reality? In order to answer these questions and explore their larger ethical and social implications, we will attend to and reflect on our individual and collective impressions of documentary film,such as Don’t Look Back (D.A. Pennebaker). In conjunction with film screenings, the class will read and discuss scholarly approaches to the genre, through the works of Bill Nichols and others. Through drafting, peer review, revision, and self-assessment, students will construct analytical questions that challenge, extend, and/or complicate current views regarding documentary spectatorship and the impact of technology on our experience of reality. The course culminates with an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: We are constantly making decisions that we hope will lead to our immediate or future happiness, yet what do we really know about this complex emotion? What is happiness? To what extent is the search for happiness instinctual? How might our personalities shape our desire to seek different kinds of happiness? How do our experiences influence our perceptions of happiness? Using writing as a tool for inquiry, discovery, and knowledge construction, students will investigate such questions. Informal assignments, readings, and formal papers work together to inform students’ final 8-10 page argumentative research paper. Students will have multiple opportunities to collaborate and capitalize on all aspects of peer review and self-assessment as the goal of this course is for students to learn how to construct an effective argument and become confident in their role as academic writers.

Description: Whether we are professional performers or casual listeners, most of us engage with some kind of music on a daily basis. If we want to share this meaningful part of our lives with others through conversation or writing, though, we find it is a slippery and challenging process; some have even claimed “writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” How do we use language to describe the experience of hearing music? In this course, we will explore music writing through articles by authors like philosopher Roland Barthes, musicologist Susan McClary, and music critic Lester Bangs. Our in-depth analyses and comparisons of these styles of writing through informal writing and discussion will provide students with the tools and resources to write about music in two short writing assignments, a research proposal, and one 8-10 page argumentative research paper. Students will refine critical reading skills and writing strategies for these formal assignments using peer review, self-assessment, and revisions.

Description: Writers do (or don’t) break writing into interlocking--or disjointed!--pieces to move us...or make us stop. They shift the order and coherence of these fragments, guiding us from chapter to chapter, paragraph to paragraph, sentence to sentence--step by step. But the stepping stones of a work also help the reader choose her own path: she can read the conclusion of an essay to see if its body is worth it; she can skip to a report’s data section, drawing her own conclusions regardless of the writer’s. She can skip to the best chapter of a DVD--then stop. What is the “whole” text? Why does it matter how we (writers AND readers) break it up? We’ll explore works that play with pieces, including the TV series Twin Peaks, Hemingway’s In Our Time, essays from across the disciplines, and articles about the writing and reading experience. We’ll apply what we learn about the power of fragments as we write informal “pieces,” peer-reviewed formal essays, self assessments, and an 8-10 page argumentative research paper.

Description: Drawing on work in linguistics and rhetorical grammar (e.g., Halliday, Biber, Kolln, Hyland), this course investigates the sentence—its structure, its potential, and its limits in creating meaning. Students will learn about the form and function of “the sentence” and its parts, develop the ability to see patterns and possibilities within and across sentences, and create and analyze sentences of wildly different shapes. Assignments will regularly involve meaningful play with sentences. Through a final project, students will investigate some aspect of the sentence in extended discourse or discuss how knowledge of the sentence might be meaningfully integrated into a writing curriculum. This course is ideal for those interested in writing, writing education, or editing. Background in linguistics or grammar is not necessary. Open to undergraduates and graduate students.

Description: Drawing on work in linguistics and rhetorical grammar (e.g., Halliday, Biber, Kolln, Hyland), this course investigates the sentence—its structure, its potential, and its limits in creating meaning. Students will learn about the form and function of “the sentence” and its parts, develop the ability to see patterns and possibilities within and across sentences, and create and analyze sentences of wildly different shapes. Assignments will regularly involve meaningful play with sentences. Through a final project, students will investigate some aspect of the sentence in extended discourse or discuss how knowledge of the sentence might be meaningfully integrated into a writing curriculum. This course is ideal for those interested in writing, writing education, or editing. Background in linguistics or grammar is not necessary. Open to undergraduates and graduate students.

Description: WST 100 topics change each semester. As America matured as a country, the geography of the nation changed from frontier, to farm, to city, and many women eventually moved from home space to work place and perhaps back again. In this course we will trace multiple traditions of American women’s writing within these changing spaces. This class will consider works by writers like Harriet Jacobs, Jhumpa Lahiri, Sandra Cisneros and modern day bloggers to ask: how did American women navigate changing spaces and urban development in order to advocate for a place in private and public life? How much has our understanding of gender and sexual identity changed as modern writers transform older traditions in new spaces and new genres for new purposes? Students will examine writing across various genres to consider how notions of place and space contribute to or challenge our understanding of key feminist issues such as identity, language, race and class.

Description: Queer theory is a poststructuralist critical theory that arose from the fields of feminist studies and early LGBT studies in the 1990s. This theory not only works to bring non-dominant sexualities under the purview of academic study but also focuses on challenging the supposed stability of the social identity categories of sex, gender, and sexuality. Some of the questions that will be posed within the space of this class include the following: How are bodies that do not conform to binary gender norms received and perceived by both queer and non-queer publics? How have queer identities been informed by other identity categories (such as race, class, nationality, etc.)? What kinds of feelings arise from and attach themselves to instances of normatively resistant forms of gender/sexuality, and how might we understand the political import of these feelings? How does queer theory intersect with LGBT activism, and what is its relevance in both the academy and society at large?

Topics include: early Christian debates over the nature of the body and its relationship to personal identity and the nature of the self; conflicting ideas about the nature of Jesus’ incarnated, crucified, and resurrected body; gender, sexuality, and the bodies of men and women; Christian valorization of physical suffering and the bodies of the ill; the cult of the martyrs and the cult of the relics; the rise of asceticism and the bodies of saints.

Description: In Black Skins, White Masks, Frantz Fanon wrote, “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!” In the United States, popular cultural understandings of race have often located blackness within the body: in DNA, in blood, in skin, in hair texture, in facial features. How does race get mapped onto the body? In this interdisciplinary course on race and embodiment, students will encounter texts and writing assignments prompting them to think critically about how black bodies ‘matter’ in the contemporary U.S. Course materials and assignments will encourage students to explore how blackness intersects with other social categories such as gender and sexuality at the site of the body, while exploring how these categories are socially constructed and can and should be troubled, blurred, and contested in the practice of social life. The dual themes of intersectionality and visuality will act as a frame for our explorations.

Three uniquely gifted sisters who burned their hearts and brains out on the moors, but not before leaving us some of the most passionate and revolutionary literature of the 19th c. This is the stuff of the Brontë legend. This course will explore the continuing appeal of the Brontës and the peculiar fascination that they have exercised on the literary imagination. Looking intensively at some of the best-loved novels of all time, we will explore the roots and reaches of the Brontë myth. We will also consider the Brontës’ legacy in in some of the many adaptations (and continuations) of their work in print and on the screen. And we will look at our seemingly insatiable appetite for new tellings of the Brontës’ life stories. The course, then, will consider not the only the Brontës’ literary productions, but also our culture’s production and reproduction of “the Brontës” over the years.

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.

In doing so, this course addresses the historical background and contribution of women writers to the development and progression of modern Japanese literature. Throughout the course, we will pay close attention to the ways in which Japanese women writers have used fiction to challenged convention and expectation. Key issues include sex and sexuality, the nature and rhetoric of desire, and the politics of the female body. Writers to be considered are Higuchi Ichiyô, Hirabayashi Taeko, Yamada Eimi, Miyabe Miyuki, Kanehara Hitomi, and many others. In addition, the course also asks students to engage with critical scholarship in English that offers new ways of thinking and talking about Japanese women's writing. No previous knowledge of Japan or Japanese is required.

We will consider equally films from East and West Germany. How does 'woman' function as a narrative device in these films? Do women behind the camera change 'woman's' meaning within the film? Can 'woman' consistently be reduced to one narrative trope (mother, comrade or whore), or does she resist? All readings and discussions are in English; all films are subtitled.

Description: What does it mean to be human? What political, economic, religious, social, or sexual rights might be part of different people's working definitions? This course will look at both a) the historical development of conflicting theories of human rights and b) more contemporary debates about their ideal extent, their exercise, and their enforcement. Special topics will include debates over the meaning of the American and French Revolutions, the fight to design an International Declaration of Human Rights in the aftermath of World War II, the history of organizations such as Amnesty International and institutions such as the International Criminal Court, and the controversy around UN events such as the 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, and the 2010 Summit on the Millennium Development Goals in New York City.

Description: Almost four hundred years of slavery and racial discrimination have taken a toll on the black family. Despite this, the family demonstrated a remarkable resilience as it negotiated the pernicious demands of both slavery and freedom. Today, however, the number of black millionaires grows rapidly, yet poverty in the black community expands exponentially. The widening gap between rich and poor is, however, only one of the many challenges facing black families struggling to come to terms with inter-racial and same-sex marriages, teenage pregnancy, as well as disparities in health, educational, and mass incarceration. The course readings and assignments will examine these impediments and evaluate the claim of some of our leading scholars that “the very future of the black family in America is at risk."

Description: “Mutilated Bodies, Mutilated Discourse” is critical investigation of the representation of female genital cutting in both African and Western discourses. The controversy over this practice already begins with the act of its naming. Genital cutting, female circumcision, female genital surgery are the names used to designate what some considered as legitimate ritualized practices while others see them as outdated misogynistic rituals. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia, vaginal cosmetic surgeries are growing at an exponential pace. Terminologies point to cutting-edge technologies whereas female genital cutting practices are constructed as barbaric. The course seeks to provide an understanding of the context in which a fragmented transnational sisterhood allows for a proliferation of mutilated discourses on poor and defenseless bodies. The discussion expands to bodies caught in domestic violence, rape, lynching, and vicious civil wars.
